I was so very lucky to be there. Have been spending time with the Iwo vets all week and they are just awesome. This trip will take time for me to process - I can't adequately put into words what this trip meant to me.

Lost photos of Iwo Jima

I havent seen most. It has pictures of the aftermath of the final suicide attack by the last, remaining Japs, on some flight crew quarters and this is the first I saw pictures of that attack.

One picture has a man who is said to be calling out a position as a spotter. That is incorrect, that man was interviewed on a documentary on Iwo and he tells the story that he ws yawning when the photographer took the shot! If you look at his mouth, he is wide open.

Hat tip to a Marine friend who sent me these!
