I had the honor, one Marine Corps birthday ball, to sit with an Iwo Marine as well as an Inchon Marine. They were outstanding individuals who went through hell on Earth. The Iwo Marine told me he could still smell the bullets that went by him on that tiny island.

The book “The Old Breed” is a good read of the battle.
