We get this info from the BBC of all places. Nevertheless, thanks for the post and God Bless the Marines who fought tooth and nail against the Japs.

I have 5x10 48 star flag, it is the pride of our neighborhood when I put it over the garage door on flag days, received many very kind regards. I was gone one 4th of July for my parents 50th anniv. and caught enough grief I give it to a neighbor to put out if I am away.

My Daddy was there with the 5th Marine Division. His Spearhead Book is my most prized and cherished possessions.

That photo and the one of the soldier kissing the cute little nurse are my favorite WW2 pictures.

Thanks, I used to have that beach image, and somehow lost track of it.

On the same day, 2,200 civilian internees were liberated from Los Banos Internment Camp by a combined airborne, land-based, and amphibious assault on the camp that was 25 miles behind enemy lines. Freed that day were my mother and father.
