IWO JIMA PICTORIAL

The battle for Iwo Jima was 60 years ago and it was the bloodiest battle the Marine Corps ever encountered. I wonder how today's press would have covered the story? Here are some pictures taken 60 years ago of the battle zone. Some of those pictured died there on the island, some are alive today, but, soon, Father Time will claim them all.

NOTE: After the first set of pics ends, keep scrolling....there's more!
