Has anyone here meet a WW2 Marine that was not on Iwo Jima? I meet just one out of about 70. That island had to be green for all the Marines on it. In the late 70's I meet a old Marine that said he was on Iwo. He said he was wounded and they sent him stateside for the rest of the war. I asked when that was and he said Oct 44. I didn't have the heart to tell him that Iwo was Feb 45. I was in the Army from Oct 66 To Oct 69 but I had two foreign assignments Germany and Oklahoma.
