    This clip is great. I have seen other versions, but this has a few footage I had not seen before. I like the way it was narrated. Every time a clip has something to do with Iwo Jima, I get excited. Why?

    First, I will never know the exact feelings of those that fought there but my greatest appreciation to them securing that "eight sq miles of Hell"; a stepping stone in putting an end to such aggression by the enemy.

    And secondly, I am most appreciative of the sacrifice that saved my home land - Fiji (including other Pacific islands)- from Japanese aggression and whatever else there was, and a sense of pride to have served a good qualifying 20 yrs in the Corps.
