IWO JIMA: A HARD-WON HAVEN - Framed Collector’s Piece
by John D. Shaw
The crew of a troubled B-29 are grateful to see the charred grounds of Iwo Jima as they return from a mission against Japan in early 1945. After 36 days of bitter fighting, the U.S. Marine Corps managed to liberate the small strategic volcanic island which enabled many thousands of aircrew to live and fight another day.
John’s moving piece serves as a tribute to all those who fought at Iwo Jima – a place that remains a truly sacred ground and symbol of freedom. Adding great authenticity, this copy has been personally signed by no less than THIRTEEN veterans who served on the island:
- USMC Vern Brinzenhofe
- USN Clair Chaffin
- USMC Jack Colby
- USMC Roy Earle
- USMC Norm Hatch
- USAAF Harry Hink
