My dad’s cousin, who was from Fleming County, Kentucky, was one of the original flag raisers on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima In 1945.
Unfortunately, he only lived for a few more days after the famous picture was taken. My dad was so proud of him.

What an incredible achievement by the US Marines to take Mt Suribachi. The Japanese would not give up and fought like devils. But Marines just kept advancing and many were killed. COURAGE, BRAVERY, VALOR = USMC. Semper Fi
