Title: An Iwo Jima Pic you haven't seen! Warning large pic
Post by: Gunslayer on June 06, 2002, 08:30:47 PM
Here is part of an e-mail a friend sent me from a guy he knows in the USMC. It's absolutely beautiful. Kind of makes me think of all the soldiers that fought and died there.

Here is what he said:

"Picture is over Iwo Jima (Mt. Surabachi and Landing Beaches in the
foreground)
That's all I have for now

Ciao,
Commander

A.C. Tharp
Maj. USMC
Executive Officer
Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 332"

I though this was pretty cool.

The landing beaches are actually for the most part directly hidden by the F/A-18, and extending above it on the right.

Amazing to think of how many men died on such a small island.
