Received this and am right in the middle of performing research:

Good morning,

 

I was looking up the song “When the Yanks Raised the Stars and Stripes On Iwo Jima Isle” and came across your website. My late father, WWII U.S. Navy veteran of the Pacific theater, had a 78 record of that song. I still have the record but it is cracked. I am looking for a cd copy and saw your songlist. Do you sell, or have knowledge of where I can buy, that cd?

I found the lyrics

Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima - Bob Wills

 

When the Yanks raised the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle

Thru’ the blood and tears they won thru’

Bless the heart of each Yankee there on Iwo Jima Isle

Resting ‘neath a blanket of blue.

High on the hill Suribachi flies Old Glory and she always will

When the Yanks raised the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle

There were tears in their hearts tho’ they smiled.

 

When the Yanks raised the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle,

Ev’ry heart could sing once again

And the sight of Old Glory over Iwo Jima Isle

Swelled the hearts of our fighting men.

Long will it wave o’er the hilltop

As a symbol of heroes who died;

When the Yanks raised the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jim Isle

Each American heart filled with pride.
