Tom
Thats a very nice little group and getting harder to find
as time goes on!
Outstanding piece of history to get anything from this important era and historical importance!
Just looking at these young boys thrust into a very bad time and loss of life on Iwo Jima makes it special!
You are now the caretaker of this piece of history!
Sadly there is no Nazi symbol so many won't care!
But he was one of ours and I care!
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting...
We lost two family members on Iwo Jima - both of the 5th Marine Division.
One was an artillery man (If you have ever seen the 1945 USMC film entitled "Gyrene Gal", you've seen my cousin.
The other was a Navy Corpsman assigned to the 5th Marines.

The other was a Navy Corpsman assigned to the 5th Marines. This isn't really pertinent to this thread, but I wanted to correct my earlier comment. The name of the movie referenced above is actually "Glamour Gal". It's a 15 minute USMC made film and can be seen here: http://archive.org/details/glamour_gal
