The Iwo Jima panel in the Western Military Memorial Chapel was dedicated to Frank M. Henderson, WMA'13, who retired as Commandant of Cadets in 1945. The central panel commemorates the spirit of the United States Marines in the battle of Iwo Jima on Mount Suribachi, Feb 23 1945, in the Pacific theatre of World War II.

Great read, I'd forgotten my Marine Corps history that today was the anniversary.

The USS Texas, BB-35 bombarding Iwo Jima, February 19, 1945. SAM, the USS Texas is now a national monument not far from Houston. Me and a couple of work buddies went on board her on a recent road job in Houston. It's kept up fairly good, even after all these years.
