U.S. COAST GUARD PHOTOGRAPH : Three weeks after the historic Luzon landings on Lingayen Gulf, American forces hit the beaches of Zambales to seal off the vital Bataan Peninsula in the drive on Manila. Instead of stiff Japanese resistance, they were met by Jubilant Filipinos. Here, a jeep rolls off the ramp of a Coast Guard landing craft which came in with troops and equipment from an invasion transport. 2/22/1945
