My grandpa was at Iwo Jima. A marine. I’m not sure of the unit he was in. But he survived the war. I know my dad said that he was an island hopper. They lost many men per island they took. I asked him once did he see the flag raised at Iwo Jima…he said everybody saw that flag bring raised. Even the enemy.
My father-in-law was a Marine there also in 5th division. The Japanese had bunkers underground and came out of them at night. He also saw flag raised.
