I read Robert Leibold's message about Okinawa being overshadowed by Iwo-Jima.
Being yesterday was the Iwo anniversary! I couldn't agree with Robert more. Local newspapers had stories and interviews on TV with the remaining Iwo vets. You rarely? if ever, see this done about any other battle in the Pacific. Speaking with WW2 veterans - Its almost as if, you weren't at Iwo, you weren't in the war. Obviously with the flag raising and the recent films, it is at the forefront. It gets too much publicity, Two WW2 1st Marine Division "Okinawa" Veterans recently confided this to me. Just Venting. |
