 Since the battle to take Iwo Jima began this month in 1945, I wanted to pay tribute to all of those who were there.

If you haven't seen the movie or read the book "Flags of Our Fathers" it truly does give a good idea of what our men encountered on that volcanic rock. NO ONE can fully understand who wasn't there... but those of you who served have a better understanding than I.

Thank you all... you endured hell here on earth to keep us free. There is no way to repay all you have done for us.


In the header photo (from the National Archives), note the LSTs unloading on the beach in the right side of the photograph.
