Hear One Soldier’s First-Hand Oral History of Uncommon Valor in World War II’s Battle for Iwo Jima
#2

Vee, it's funny you post this, because I was about to start a conversation regarding Iwo Jima (or Iwo To, as it is now called). What I was going to post is that I am going to be able to got there next Tuesday!!! Our Squadron is going to hop on two of the Wing's C-130s and go out there for a day trip. Needless to say, I am breathless with anticipation! I even bought some 4x5 black and white film for the occassion so I can be like Joe Rosenthal!
