Thank you for posting. I had just turned three when this flag was raised on Iwo so I don't have much memory of the day.

My Dad was there & took a suicide hit. They shot it down & it only got a part of the ship.
Anyone who has the chance needs to read "Flags of our Father's" A bio of the 6 flag raisers. Their lives, sacrifices, three died on the island, the 3 survivors & their families. In one generation now we have lost what they fought for. :patriot:
