My grandfather's photo account of the battle of Iwo Jima

Thanks for sharing

 

Marvelous find!

Amazing isn't it? How little we know of our grand folks and that golden era... I also learned more about my grandfather after he died. He was a great man when he was alive but, afterwards he became legendary to me. He was another veteran (Navy) in Korea. Never talked about it. My father was in Nam (Navy) so it's only natural that I enlisted. Dad was on one of the two carriers that sustained casualties from an accidental fire on deck.
