 Five days of some of the bloodiest fighting in World War Two, five Marines and one Navy Corpsman raised America's colors atop Mount Sarabachi on the island of Iwo Jima. In the photos of this single act hit the newspapers it quickly became a national symbol for the pride, respect and esteem for all America's fighting forces. Three of these Marines would later be killed in the battle for Iwo Jima. These great men have long lost over our beloved Corps from on high. There's a smile on their faces right now because they know that their sacrifices were not in vain. Nation and the Corps for which they bled and died will make them good hands.
