God Bless their souls. Today In History On Feb. 23, 1945, Marines famously raised the U.S. flag on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima. One of those Marines was Cpl. Harlon Block of Weslaco, Texas. He was killed in action on March 1, 1945.
Sit on your horse on top of a ridge, look out across the country and tell me there is no God.

the one with the picture , was the second raising , no one had a camera the first time so they did it again for the camera.
defiantly a lot to be proud of
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Today's youth couldn't last what the country went through at home let alone a day in a soldiers life back then. I think you might be surprised.
