My Dads friend who was killed on Saipan was in the 4th Marine div.

Iwo Jima had no civilians, as you know.

Sorry to hear that.

Yes, I know. My father would never talk about, except near the end. Even then he only told us so much. It left us speechless. He was only 20 when he hit the beaches of Iwo on Feb 19, 1945.
