Sgt. Grit,
Just got through reading your newsletter and also had just received the attached photo from my nephew who took the picture. My kids and I participated in a USO type show to raise seed money for a new HONOR FLIGHT group out of Elmira New York. The show was spearheaded by my niece Nancy who is instumental in establishing this new HONOR FLIGHT group. Anyway the picture shows myself (still lean, not as mean but still a Marine) with my kids(?) taken 66 years (actually 67 years) after I left IWO. My front license plate reads "Iwo Jima Survivor" and I still get appreciation for having been there and for my service.
It is heartening to know that some 17 to 20 year olds still know what IWO JIMA is.
