Iwo Jima Today

I had the distinct honor of spending two days on Iwo Jima. There are still sunken troop carriers off the beaches. Japanese machine gun nests throughout, along with empty shells scattered through out the island. Tunnels are filled with pottery, tables, and uniforms of what I believe were the Japanese soldiers who died wearing them. On the top of Suribachi there is a monument wall with dogtags left from Marines wayt back in the day to the present. While on the island you can't help but feel the emotions of the battlke that took place, I will never forget those days I was honored to see that history. God bless the men who passed fighting for what they believed in. Semper Fidelis

I think the pictures are brilliant. Well obviously that is mount sirabaji on the end of the island. I see they must have erected a memorial on the mount. You can see that is a volcanic island.

My love goes to the brave young men who took the island.
