I owe my life and more to these marines. My father was forced into 2 emergency landings on Iwo when his B29 was hit in bombing raids over Japan. These men's sacrifice bought him 66 years of life, a loving marriage of many years, 2 sons and 2 beautiful granddaughters. RIP and thank you veterans.

I had seen on a tv documentary that originally the us flag was risen on a hill not far from the one of the famous picture. then for some reason it was decided to carry a bigger flag on a bigger hill i guess to have a much moral and positive on our troops.

America could not have had more heroes. They along with other assisting countries should be honored beyond anything. God bless these men and their sacrifice so that we today can be living freely.

None of them wanted to be there but they went and did what had to be done. They're all heroes.

My maternal grandfather was a Sgt. Major in the Marine Corps and my father a Torpedoman 3rd Class. Both served in the Pacific. By the grace of God they both came home.

"for what ever reason...i'm here"..

Thanks for being honest. I recognize my father in your comment, things he did not want to speak about. I am Dutch, my father fought in the resistance in WW2 and later in the Korean war. His sister said "he never was the same when he got back" Thanks for sharing.
