Three men who were stranded on a uninhabited Pacific island for three days were rescued after they spelled out “HELP” on the beach using palm tree leaves. 

They were spotted by a US naval airplane, who relayed the information to a search and rescue team based in Guam, who then transported them to the island of Pulap, military.com reports. 

Our combined efforts coupled with the willingness of many different resources to come together and help, led to the successful rescue.
