I’ve got some stuff to add about Iwo tomorrow, but I just wanted to add that Feb. 19 also saw the signing of Executive Order 9066 (1942). This was the order that authorized the rounding up of Japanese citizens and their subsequent internment. Not the "American" of things to do, but it's hard to put ourselves in the shoes of those who were seeing the Japanese swallow up huge chunks of Asian territory - in the months following Pearl Harbor.
