Thousands of brave Marines were invading the volcanic island called Iwo Jima. Let us never forget the sacrifices made!

Taylor, Can you tell us a little about your visit on Iwo? Did you make it up to the top of Mt. Suribachi or down into one of the many caves/tunnels still intact today?

Taylor:

How does one visit Iwo Jima?? I'd love to go having already visited Truk, Biak, Rabaul, Saipan, Tinian, Roi-Namur, Kwajalein and Ponape. I noticed that you are wearing a badge of sorts .
