All gave some, some gave all.
I am amazed at this photo montage — almost every frame had me saying “oh wow!” Iwo Jima was clearly a place of great heroism and a keystone in our WWII Pacific strategy and tactics.
I know everyone knows that but to see these picture is to make it VISCERAL — these were real people with families and loved ones, involved in a complex and messy, and sometimes fatal, situation.
God bless these great men and women who stood so tall in such danger and peril.
Thank You for posting these great and moving photos.
So where is the story?
“Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue.”
Admiral Chester Nimitz....
