To day is a big day for a few of us. 65 years ago today the United States Flag was raised on Mt. Suribachi by 5 US Marines and one Navy Corpsman. If you are presented an oppurtinity wich not many will be Thank a WWII veteran. I have had the opportunity to see the memorial, and meet men who were on the beaches and they deserve thanks.

One of the most memorable photos of WWII. And I called my grandfather cause he was there on a ship.
 
i was just working in Yorktown, Tx. Home of Harlon Block. He's the one pulling from the front.
 
I've seen it in person. It's awsome to say the least. Thanks to all that are in the forces.
