I'm wondering if any more articles have covered the Battle of Attu. My Uncle Art LaFleur was KIA there on 17 May 43. I'd like to do more research on this and have found a lot of info on the web. Any more pictures around? Please cover it more. It seems to be forgotten by people & only more famous battles are remembered. Thank you for a great web site. Ed LaFleur
