Greetings all...
just a quick note and reminder that tomorrow, February 23rd, will mark the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima... Please take a few moments and reflect on the personal sacrifices that were made for the freedom of our countries and the world combined.
Sincerely,
Gunny

Gunnie, I always thought it started on the 19th of February, 1945. Do you mean the flag raising on Suribachi? Out here.

Greetings, Mike...
Sorry about the delay in answering you, Bro...I guess that I should've been a little more explanitive in the original post and included that statement...I hope that this hasn't caused any confusion...Thanks for bringing it to my attention though...If my Dad finds out about this, I'm gonna be in the doghouse!! LOL (He was at Eta Jima, and I can remember his stories about both Battles). Take care, my friend...
Cheers,
Gunny
