From an old Jarhead myself and the son of a Navy Corpsman who served with the Marines in the Pacific, I understand how you feel. Semper Fidelis to all Marines everywhere and of all times, and to all of the men and women who sacrificed for this nation.
Thank you for your service!
Thank you Sir.
I never got to meet him. He was my step Uncle and he lied about his age to join the Marines. He was 17 when he joined. My step grandfather had to sign the papers attesting to his age. He never spoke of Raymond and never forgave himself. It is Raymond I think of when I see the demons trying to rip our great country down and Raymond who fuels my cold fury.
Wonderful memory. But, imo, if he is truly family in your mind, you can drop the 'step' stuff.
Thats incredible. Thank you for sharing. Iwo is one of those historical events I think about often. How brave these Marines were to fight on that tiny island and take it. It's such a great example of what it means to be American, I think. You are fighting in a world war, but you're taking the smallest of islands against an enemy that will fight to the bitter end with no comrades left.

I cleaned up the photo a little for you.
Nice of you:) Personally, I kinda like it as it is which is how the original, old photo looks;)
As a person from the retarded Gen Z class, I can't thank him enough for giving the ultimate sacrifice for our Country. 🙋♂️(closest salute emji I can find)
You may know this already but you can use o7. No pretty picture but it works.

Bless him and your family. My uncle was at Iwo Jima but made it home. He lied about his age to join the Marines at 15. My father had his father sign for him to join the Navy at 17 and served all over the Pacific. Those of you too young to remember these young men should be thinking about them today. I am.
Gods speed Uncle Ray ...Salute
God Bless Uncle Ray.
So many young men and women of the military lost due to false wars perpetrated by our government and the felonious a Deep State all in the name of money and power. They play countries off each other, pour money into bot sides, own the munitions factories, railroad for transport, etc. All of this is passed on generation to generation within the Deep State to continue their power and money making schemes. Then they still aren’t satisfied-they want to kill and depopulate the “bottom feeders”-sick, informed, elderly, those who feed off the government, the handicapped.
Honors rendered and a salute to Uncle Ray. God loves the Corp.
I think most of my brothers and sisters of the Corps will agree...
He has that smart ass type smile that even in a crowd, without the uniform, we can see and say "yep. One of us."
Thank you! Uncle Ray!!... he was a hottie...!🇺🇸
He looks like a great guy!
You can have someone fix that photo, restore it, enlarge it, etc. It looks pretty good as is but i guarantee you'll be amazed at what people can do. Reddit has some subs that do it mostly for free (i wouldn't pay unless you go to an expert). I could do some work on it if you sent me the original file. Otherwise Reddit.com/r/photorestore
Or Reddit.com/r/estoration and there are a few others.
Even though it's on reddit, those guys do a great job restoring photos. I've seen classic photos of Juan Manuel Fangio and Wolfgang Von Tripps that are just incredible to look at when restored.
My grandpa fought at Iwo Jima. He survived. He hardly ever talked about the war. Not until we little grandkids start asking questions. He could draw a map in the sand that was so detailed. Amazing and tragic times.
Thank you for posting this. And sharing your family with us.
He was a Man.
I've got two Japanese teeth on a string that my grandfather took back from the Pacific theater (stormed 3 different beaches). I've contemplated finding a service to test for DNA and finding the guy's living relatives but I don't think there are many places doing that or interested in doing that.
Lol I’d keep it. That feels like a Native American tribe whipping out the 23 and me to bring you your great great grandfather’s scalp. It’s like “Thanks”.
My grandfather had a katana that some movers stole.
Nice job! I had a picture of the destroyer that my father served on in the Pacific. I cleaned it up with Photoshop, and it looked great. Salute and prayers for all the fallen.
3 Destroyers on my wall. :)
My great grandad was a Royal Dutch Marine killed in combat in the pacific theater. My step grandad was captured by the Japanese and held as a POW.
God bless all the men who gave their lives to fight the good fight.
Pyrrhic Victory
In that war, Japan lost its worst people while America lost its best.
To you and all have lost someone(s) in war, i salute thee. My gpa was at Iwo and from what i was told it was a living hell.
Uncle Ray was a badass. I can see it in his eyes,even in a picture.
God bless you Uncle Ray, thank you for your service and your sacrifice.
Wow what a fucking stud! Semper Fi
Such a sweet face.
I'm so sorry for your family's loss. He was one of the people who made America great. With God's help we will be the ones to make America great again.
Having one for Uncle Ray
To You, Sir, and all of your fallen brothers on this Day of remembrance
My sincerest thank you Uncle Ray!
It is good to remember the sacrifice of all who’ve given their lives for our freedom - and it’s good to follow their example of fighting with all we’ve got to keep those freedoms for future generations.
Hand Salute, Marine...
THE Greatest Generation that ever lived...
Retired Military...
Respect
R.I.P. Patriot Uncle Ray.

One final word..... I would like to thank the mods for leaving this post high up on the HOT list today even though it isn't exactly Q related (tho it is in many ways). I post this picture every year on Memorial Day .... here, and before here on The Donald, and before The Donald on Conservative Treehouse before I was banned (I disagreed with Sundance about Jeff Sessions). So Thanks Mods!!!!! and God bless you all:)
