Nkomo Posted March 19, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2008 I just dug this framed picture out of my collection. It has been sitting in the corner because of lack of hangable space. I think I gave the guy $10 for this picture a year ago or so. I always was partial to this picture. Obviously, it is a picture/painting of the Marines raising the flag on Mount Suribachi many years ago. The caption reads like this:" IWO JIMA Here Marine courage and skill were put to the supreme test. In 26 days of relentless assault beginning February 19, 1945, the gallant Third, Fourth, and Fifth Marine Division crushed fierce enemy resistance and captured this vital base along the last miles to Japan!" Hope you enjoy the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
