We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Uncle on Hinsdale Author: Anthony Rushing [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08:45:46 02/17/07 Sat In reply to: Roger Bosley 's message, "Hinsdale" on 14:30:18 01/25/07 Thu My uncle also served as a 20mm gunner on the landing craft. I did an oral interview with him on his experiences. His boat was in the first wave at Iwo and it sank on the rocks. He served as a machine gunner for 7 hours on the beach with Marines until able to return to his ship. Would love to see a photo of one of the landing craft from the ship.
