Iwo Jima...70th

[WILMASBOYL78]

It was 70 years ago today that a group of brave young Marines hoisted old glory atop a lonely volcanic mountain on the island of Iwo Jima. This battle was one of the bloodiest of the war...as the Japanese were now defending the home islands and they fought to death. The few remaining veterans of this epic battle are mostly in their 90's.

We must always remember their sacrifice and courage and all the others who served then and now. It seems we are always called on to fight evil and protect the innocent...that never changes.
