My #2 son made it through a week of jungle warfare training in Northern Okinawa. I know it's not planting the flag on Iwo Jima, but I'm very happy for him and proud of him.
Here's a video via You Tube from three years ago to give a quick glimpse of what it's like.
Thanks to all the young people that have the guts to join up. And thanks is not big enough to all the people that have given their lives. They should always be honoured.

Congratulations! Our son-in-law went through the training last year.
God bless this MAN....and those who raised him.
Clapping for your son and for the thread. Congratulations on raising a great boy.
Just wow. Especially with Acrophobia. That’s the definition of guts.
Staff Sergeant Chapman was all the motivation I needed.
Congratulations to him and to you! Well done!
Congratulations to your son. My son, a Captain, was TDY to Okinawa last year, for 4 months, and came home successfully too. Good work.
The whole island itself.
