My grandfather was there. He was a Stars & Stripes photographer, embedded in a unit, and earned a Bronze Star for that battle. We have a HUGE scrapbook of his news clippings & photos of the island--some pretty gruesome. I was fascinated as a child, and still am--but I never grew up with a romanticized view of war!
