This camera position reveals a slightly less obstructed view of the front lines North of Isola Bella.
	This tablet, erected for the 50th anniversary of the battle and two shrapnel-scarred columns are all that remain of the pre-war Isola Bella. Not a single structure in the Anzio stalemate area remained standing. The entire town of Cisterna was laid waste, turned to rubble by shells and aerial bombs.
	Rich stands in front of the Beachhead Museum holding a print of a photo taked by his father, Stanley, who was a World War II vet. In a small ceremony moments later, he presented the photo to the museum.
	The beautiful port of Anzio, today, as it was pre-war, an Italian seaside resort. The port in 1944 was captured rapidly by U.S. Rangers, while the main landings were taking place on flat beaches north and south. Under constant shelling throughout the siege, the port was vital to the resupply effort as 3 cargo-laden LST's from Naples were unloaded daily to keep food, fuel and ammo flowing to the front.
	This marked the 60th anniversary of the battle.
