Thank You for your service, I am glad you won’t see our Senators and President sellout our Nation and our veterans for their own interests by passing the worst immigration bill in history. God Bless You.

Missed yesterdays thread, so Thank You and God Bless him. A lot has been done in the last few years to report the actual flag raising story/picture on Iwo.

“...And when he get to heaven,
St. Peter he will tell,
“Another Marine reporting, Sir,
I’ve served my time in Hell!”

Semper Fi, Marine!

Any Marine would have planted the flag. Thanks for stepping up and into history...
