Pause

60 years ago today... 70,000 troops landed on a little island... 7000 of them died.... 10's of thousands more were wounded... and at 9:20pm EST, Old Glory was raised...

On a mountain on Iwo Jima.

In all of World War II only 57 Marines recieved the CMOH. 22 of them were earned at Iwa Jima, along with 5 sailors.
