3 Years ago today, the 70th Anniversary . . .
My wife (who lost a 17 yr old uncle on Mt Suribachi the day before The Flag raising) spoke with two Marines who knew her uncle.
WOW is all we can say afterwards. Stunned silence, chills, by the heroism the stories they told, their recollections, their professionalism, their kindness to share.
One of the greatest moments we’ve ever had. These men were ones we met online via a newsletter, they invited us to call, and we did. How they were so willing to talk to us and share their memories, just incredible.
I cannot say enough. I pray today, they are still with us and as alert and healthy as that memorable day
