Greatest generation. I’ve been listening to a lot of different podcasts about Iwo Jima and the hell these men went through is just mind boggling . I want to thank all of them from the bottom of my heart. God Bless You & America

These were real men. Sad to say, many, nearly all, of the real men are dead.
