wwIIfighterpilots Posted October 31, 2011 Share #56 Posted October 31, 2011 Kurt! WOW! How have I missed this thread? Amazing. And as others have said, I am glad you have it. I was watching the DVD about Mr. Lindberg just recently, called The Last Flagraiser. I also have that well-known signed photo of him with the flamethrower, so I really appreciate the man and understand the historical significance of your grouping. Congrats!

manayunkman Posted October 31, 2011 Share #57 Posted October 31, 2011 Tremendous Kurt. Wild to have such a piece of history entrusted to you. For the family to pass it to you speaks volumes about you as a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

so.mostyank Posted November 6, 2011 Share #61 Posted November 6, 2011 It is with the utmost respect and humility that I display for the first time for the collecting community, the dress greens of Charles W. Lindberg who served with the 2nd Raiders and later with E-2-28th Marines of the 5th Marine Division and raised the first flag over Iwo Jima. Charles was a good friend of mine and we had several serious USMC conversations about his service and the flag raisers of both flag raisings and his service with the Raiders under Col. Evan Carlson. The family has allowed me to have this uniform and I am deeply humbled. another spectacular grouping on this forum...congratulations on being able to talk with Mr. Lindbergh so.mostyank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbinephalen Posted June 16, 2012 Share #63 Posted June 16, 2012 This uniform needs to be pinned due to the VERY historic nature of it. I am not a USMC collector but this is an absolutely incredible piece of history. Stunning is the only word that comes to mind. What an honor to be the caretaker of this one :thumbsup: Thanks for sharing it with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
