Have any of you Marines ever visited your birthplace, Tun Tavern in Philadelphia???

No, but I have visited the memorial honoring those who raised the American flag on Mt Suribachi. No, not the one in Washington DC. I got to see the one on top of Mt Suribachi.

Every time I see a picture of that flag raising or of the memorial, I think of the Johnny Cash song about Ira Hayes...
