Discussion with WWII Veteran David Dines, M.D.

Dr. Dines served in the Marine Corps as a teenager. He enlisted at 17 and fought in the battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. After losing his two closest friends in the war and emerging unscathed himself, he felt a deep commitment to give back to society. Encouraged by his father-in-law, Dr. Dines chose medicine as his way to contribute, leading to a distinguished career in pulmonary medicine at the Mayo Clinic.
