Mount Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima.In four days of fighting, Easy Company had 40% casualties.
American soldiers raise the Flag on February 23, 1945.
November 11 is Veterans Day.
Let us never forget.
The American Soldier
It is the soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.
