observations from a window seat in the handbasket headed for hell
Retired Marine Maj. Gen. Fred Haynes [...] heads the Combat Veterans of Iwo Jima, a group of about 600 veterans that travels to the island every year for a reunion.[...]
"It was Iwo Jima to us when we took it," said Haynes. "We'll recognize whatever the Japanese want to call it but we'll stick to Iwo Jima."
So there.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
