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

Soldier on left is Irving Byington of Utah, soldier on right is my father, William Woolfolk . They are pictured with two of the civilians who helped them dig down to the bombs so they could disarm them. The ladies and children are family members of the workers. My father continued to correspond with them for 30 years.
