Famous WW2 Quote
"Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 16 Mar 1945

ITS THE BRAVE ONE'S WHO DIE, THE SOLDIERS
Can you imagine how much courage, I mean real guts to attack at low level through all the flak from 20mm, 40mm, .50 Caliber and 5 inch guns all firing at you.
How many hits did that "Jill" take, before it was hit by that 5 inch shell were the crew dead already? we'll never know.
