Today I express my thanks to all veterans as well as remember those who served on Iowa Jima, especially my uncle Cprl. Joe S, USMC (picture below) who was KIA 2/21/45 on Iowa Jima. I was priviledged to be named after him when I was born two years after his death. Also, as the senior surviving relative I'm also proud to be in possession of his Purple Heart and Certificate which I'll chrish for the rest of my life.
