Iwo Jima   Gallery: WAPA Gallery   Album: Pacific Theater   Album: Iwo Jima   23 of 30 NA_373.jpg Description: The power and the price. The power of the invasion armada in the background stands out in ironic contrast with the scene on the Iwo Jima beachhead. Marines of the Third division, covered with their ponchos, lie on the beach they gave their lives to win. The battle still rages miles away. (National Archives, USMC 111,074). 23 of 30  Gallery: WAPA Gallery   Album: Pacific Theater   Album: Iwo Jima
