I Am Interested In Ww1 and Ww2

Today is the 75th anniversary of the battle of Iwo Jima

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofSF463vpCQ]

[i]Threescore and fifteen years ago,
 
On Iwo Jima's scoriac stones
 
Many a young man bled and died
 
For country, God or emperor.
 

 
Now looking at this desolate isle
 
Today, but little more remains
 
Than mostly unkempt monuments
 
And dreadful artifacts of war,
 
Rusting where they fell, so long ago.[/i]

And when he gets to Heaven
To St. Peter he will tell
Another Marine reporting, Sir
I've served my time in hell

@Thinkerbell Perhaps we should learn to listen to the mother and daughters.
