I just read in this morning's newspaper that the Japanese have changed the name of Iwo Jima to Iwo To! Iwo To was the original name of the island, but when the Japanese military took it over in 1944, it was mistakenly called Iwo Jima, perhaps because the two names mean the same: Sulphur Island. (this from USA Weekend)

To the Americans who fought, suffered or died there it will always be IWO JIMA
