Title: common man, uncommon valor
Product review: with the exception of Joe Rosenthal's famous photo of Sgt. Mike Strank's Marines raising the second flag atop Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima was a forgotten pivotal battle in the island hopping campaign to Japan. this book is a grand reminder of the thankless sacrifices our Grandfathers, Fathers, Uncles, and Cousins made during the war. As a baby boomer, every father in my neighborhood served in WWII, and the Korean War. Yes, some were at Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir(Korea), Battle of the Bulge etc.. Like the author's father, they rarely spoke about it, and felt the real heroes never came back. This book is a poignant reminder of the courage, devotion to one's fellow soldier, and the tenacity required of our father's to win the war. this is a must read!
