bobgee Posted March 7, 2015 Share #27 Posted March 7, 2015 Kurt - Outstanding! The Medical Bns are often overlooked in their contributions to the battle.......especially Iwo Jima. Congrats on acquiring it. This group could not be bettered....IMHO. Congrats! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieony Posted March 7, 2015 Share #28 Posted March 7, 2015 Kurt, Very nice acquisition! I've always like the unit designed award documents. Over the years I've seen a few identical 5th Marine Division Bronze Star citations. Thanks for sharing the pictures of this group! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper Fi Kevin I am glad your redundant because otherwise I would have never seen this post. That is an amazing grouping and the Captain is buried at the same cemetery as my Grandfather. Next time I am there I can try to get a photo of the headstone if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-40Warhawk Posted February 23, 2019 Share #48 Posted February 23, 2019 Great grouping from a man who probably saved many lives. I read Vedder's book about 20 years ago, and won't forget that. Surgeons on Iwo had a very tough task, but they had the worst place to perform their duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otter42 Posted February 23, 2019 Share #49 Posted February 23, 2019 Great group Kurt, there was a great book I read years ago that gives you some insite on what these docs went thru, if you can get your hands on it, it's a great read: Surgeon on Iwo: Up Front With the 27th Marines Thanks for sharing Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
