“Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in this world. The Marines don't have that problem.”

"Among those who served on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."

"The Marines have landed and have the situation well in hand."

"Retreat Hell! We've just got here!"

"Come on, you sons of bitches-do you want to live forever?"

"The raising of that flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years."

Three of my mother's (no pics) brothers were Marines. One served during the Korean War, and the other two served in Vietnam.

My father's uncle was at Iwo Jima. He told me he had spent a grand total of six hours in combat before a Jap grenade shredded his leg up pretty good. He considered it a potentially life-saving break; he got to spend the remainder of the war hitting up nurses in Guam and Hawaii.
