Thanks for the information on Maj. Daly. The men who happened to be in the photo of the flag-raising on Feb. 23 did not think of themselves as deserving of any special recognition--they were mindful of all their fellow Americans who fought on Iwo Jima, many of whom were killed like Maj. Daly.

He was in the 5th Marine Division. My father was in the 6th Marine Division which fought on Guam and Okinawa.
