Iwo Jima


Today is the 60th anniversary of the U.S. flag-raising on Iwo Jima, site of the Marines' bloodiest and most valorous battle, as commemorated by Joe Rosenthal's famous photo.

I have long respected the U.S. military and its ideal of service above self. I was proud to research and get into the character of a returning Marine for my story "Home".
