Sounds like me. LOL

Thanks, NV! Love the 'Victory at Sea' series!

A little late on the strategery, but as commander, I think Iwo should have been carpet bombed before the invasion.

FWIW, there's a few minutes devoted to the Battle of Samar in THIS Leyte Gulf episode of 'Victory at Sea' -- starting at about the 16:00 mark:

Hey Mic,

I will have to borrow that from you. I have gone through the The Pacific and Band of Brothers and whatever other WWII movies I have whilst being immobilized.
