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

I am challenging the I.D. of the person giving a briefing. My father was a USMC Intelligence Officer aboard the USS Dueul. He told me 25 years ago that he was positive that this was a photo of him. I have other photos of him at the time that confirm a very convincing resemblance. He also wrote in his memoir that he delivered briefs to the onboard pre-invasion force.
