@IgnacioVeutroProductions My uncles served on Iwo and Okinawa. As a child growing up I couldn't understand life from their perspective, because to them "life" was so greatly influenced by the death they saw and faced on the island. I also fully respect the Japanese perspective. America had some 27,000 casualties with 8,000 killed and 19,000 wounded, but nearly all of the 22,000 Japanese casualties were KIA. These statistics are staggering to me and I only have respect for all who gave so much.
@@Peace2U-ec6es thanks for your comment. It is very difficult to judge the thinking of those people who went through extremely critical situations such as a war. I think it is understandable that your uncles considered that life was "influenced" after having survived the hell that was the WW2 in general and the Pacific War in particular.

Hi Ignacio very interesting location with so many WW2 photos, an amazing video with such high quality work you are the best at this type of work, kind regards my friend from Russell.
When I was a boy everyone's Dad had been in the war. Three doors down the street from me lived a man and his family for decades. He was my Mom's age. Only in his last year of life did he tell me that he had been a 19 year old Marine on Iwo. I wish I had asked him to sit for the day and tell me all about it. He did share a couple small stories with me.
Unfortunately, Rene Gagnon was the second of two people misidentified as being in the photograph of the second flag raising. He was originally thought to be the Marine on the far side of the flagpole but was later identified as Corporal Harold P. Keller.
@dudermcdude9245, You are right, it is incredible to think that in such a small piece of land in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, one of the most important, fierce and tragic battles for both sides of World War II occurred. Greetings from Argentina.

Hi Russell, thank very much for your words, you are too kind. A hug from the south side of the word.

25000 hidden Japanese troops. One heck of a fight.
