Iwo

My grandpa was in that invasion. Didn't get nearly the stories out of him that I hoped to before he died - though I can't say I blame him for not wanting to talk about it. He purple hearted on the island after a few months, got a vacation in Hawaii and a ticket home after that.
 
What's the story with all the photos of dead japanese and the US tents?

I've not seen a lot of these photos before.

7,000 US servicemen were killed there.
20,000 wounded.

The numbers are impossible to comprehend these days.

Great historical pictures of both Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Some of these pictures may be a little rough for the younger crowd so surf with care.
