When the Army and the Navy
Gaze upon heaven's scenes
They will find the streets are guarded by
The United States Marines

Freedom cannot be negotiated. It is rarely given. It is usually won at great cost and sacrifice. Once lost, the price for regaining it will be ever higher.

Strength, strength alone can support freedom.

When he was ordered by his commanding officer to take Mount Suribachi, Captain Severance of "Easy Company" sent his 3rd platoon up the mountain under the command of his executive officer, Lt. Harold G. Schrier.

Severance later flew 69 combat missions during the Korean War.

@beckyromero In the photo. Which one was he? I didn't ask for a Wikipedia quote.

A little snarky tonight, aren't you?

As I said, Captain Severance of "Easy Company" sent his 3rd platoon up the mountain under the command of his executive officer, Lt. Harold G. Schrier.

I would think that is clear enough to mean he is NOT in the photo.
