IWO JIMA

This will not be my account of the famous struggle to gain a base less than two hours flying time from Japan.  A struggle that cost Americans 26,038 casualties and Japan over 18,000.  A struggle that would last from February 19 to March 26, 1945.  The challenge I am offering is simple: you dig, read, research and find the story for yourself.  There is enormous info to be found. Photojournalists like Joe Rosenthal, books like "Flags of Our Fathers", written by James Bradley, son of John Bradley, one of the Flag raisers.  I promise, you will find the effort most rewarding!.Medicineman!
