The Iwo Jima invasion was going on eighty years ago right now. I pulled O.T.'s Third Division book off the shelf yesterday to look up where he was, and on March 9, 1945, the 21st Marines, 3rd Division reached the north shore of Iwo, collecting a canteen of seawater to confirm that they had done that. That was one of the few things that he shared about his time on that island.
Jessamyn Harter is running a fine page of Facebook covering Iwo Jima during the eightieth anniversary. I highly recommend that you visit it regularly! CLICK HERE
