Nice job, Miss Snippy.

I was on Wake in '58 flying through to Hawaii. Army dependent in those days. Been on Guam, and Iwo. Iwo is different. We should have kept it in codominium (as Jerry Pournelle might have put it) with the Japanese as a war memorial. I was there during my Viet Nam years. Looking at the fields of fire then was a powerful experience, fresh in memory at this moment.

Good morning Iris7.

From what I can find it's all ours. I like that idea.

Morning Iris7.

I agree with you about Iwo, we paid a high price for that island. I've never been there but just seeing pictures of gives me the creeps. You can't help but notice how exposed any tropps on the beaches would be.

oops. My response to you was about Wake and you were talking about Iwo Jima being given back. My mistake. ;)
