Cpl. Wheeler, I just want to say how honored I am that you joined us. I also want to thank you for protecting our freedom. I personally own and have read Iwo but unfortunately haven't come across The Bloody Battle of Suribachi, yet. I also want to welcome you to the forum. Just a personal question for you. Do you agree with John Bradley in that the real heroes are dead on that island? For me, my definition of a hero is anyone who serves with honor. To me you and your fellow soldiers both living and dead are heroes.
