    Here are som pictures of Iwo Jima that I visited with my unit in 1990. We had a Coast Guard Weather Station there at that time on the North end of the Island. Hope you like them. Duane

              This view overlooking the landing beaches made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

                Another picture of the landing beaches. I can't begin to think what our Marines were thinking down there. There was no cover.

                  A view of the other side of the Island. Those are sunken ships in the background.

                          Sitting inside that pillbox. It wasn't very tall.
