73 Years today

Post by jlw257 »

73 years ago the U S Marine raised the American Flag on Iwo Jima
98 year old H. N. Eubanks was there and saw the flag flying on Mount Suribachi
Today my wife presented him with a Quilt of Valor for his service.

What a great thing to do for such a fine old gentleman, an American Hero. OH
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark
