One vet to another.

When our badd @zz Corps brothers won the battle of Iwo Jima, they saved the lives of B-29 bomber crews returning from bombing runs on Japan.

My late father-in-law served with the 4th.Marine Div. Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima. He was wounded on Iwo Jima but made the heck out of there.
