My father was at Iwo Jima, in the Navy, and survived, and sent home about 100 letters which someday I am going to enter into this computer.

My Dad was there on that day. He was a sailor on the Battleship U.S.S. Mississippi which was also in Tokyo Harbor.
Loads of pics I took in 2003 in Pearl Harbor.
I have aerial photos taken of the signing from my Dad’s plane. It was my 2nd birthday!
He was with the 41st photo recon from Guam. He retired as a Lt. Colonel in the USAF and is still alive.
Someday I have to scan in his photos. They were done in a series and then put together.
