Iwo Jima   Gallery: WAPA Gallery   Album: Pacific Theater   Album: Iwo Jima   19 of 30 NA_369.jpg Description: Not a dummy run. These Marines of the fifth division never saw as much brass in their entire boot training as they have around their machine gun on Iwo Jima. The battle of Suribachi wasn't a dummy run and they didn't have to pick up their brass as the battle was played for keeps. (National Archives, USMC 110,606). 19 of 30  Gallery: WAPA Gallery   Album: Pacific Theater   Album: Iwo Jima
