Thanks for the ping. Been at work till 11PM. Did not realize today was the anniverary date for Iwo Jima. So many brave and couragous Sailors and Marines lost their lives on that damn pile of volcanic rock. But we have the great symbol our Marines display to the world of the flag raising. They did not die in vain. Japan is now a staunch allie, a peacefull nation. The American might out of righteness brought that nation forward from a war society to one that contributes many good things to the world.
