    My Great Grandfather fought in the battle of IwoJima as a Marine, getting the purple heart for getting a shrapnel to the leg. He died in 2004 due to natural causes, may he rest in peace. He’s inspired me to join the Military and when I turn 18 I’m joining the Army.

    No marines in my family were at the Battle of Iwo Jima though one Navy relative was apart of the island’s bombardment on the USS Missouri, though my Great Granduncle a Marine (Peleliu and Okinawa) would talk about some of the friends he lost at this battle. May they all Rest In Peace Semper Fi

      @@VRCM_Skywarn_XUSA I'm sorry that you had a bad childhood, but we're not a Democracy , we're a Constitutional Republic. And we were fighting in the South Pacific because we were attacked by Japan. Just because your father turned out that way, you didn't have too.

    Very true President Reagan. The words spoken by you is so well stated. The history of Iwo Jima was quite a hardship for all who were there. I celebrate and thank all of our servicemen and women for what they have done to allow us to keep what we have.
    Our Freedom.
    Our Right Of Free Speech.
    Our right to bear arms.
    Our freedom to worship.
    Our freedom to choose what we would like to do, not what someone else decides what we are to do.
    We are ever so grateful for all who have served our country, risking all, for us.
    So many paid the ultimate sacrifice for ALL of us, The Citizens Of The United States Of America.
    You are thought of every day, for what you did for us.
    Thank you so much for your bravery, your devotion and love for our country. For this love you have given us, we are so fortunate to say, thank you all so much. You are loved.
    ♥️🇺🇲♥️ USA ♥️🇺🇲♥️

    Message to my Brothers and Sisters in Arms:
    Major General Smedley Butler's (a 2x recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, and one of the most decorated Marines in US history) refusal to SELL OUT Democracy when Wealthy Industrialist/"Conservatives" from Wall Street gave him the opportunity to do so in what was known as the The Business Plot/Wall Street Putsch.
    You can find a 1.5 minute video of the legend himself, discussing the plot on this platform. If you've not seen it, make sure you do.
    As an Independent, Marine Corps veteran, I will NEVER bow down and show loyalty to ONE person and ONE party, ABOVE the US Constitution AND The Will of the People. As a Marine I know with 100% certainty, all of YOU would do the same!

    The new generation of gender confused & fem boi Marines would not have been able to win the battle of Iwo Jima. Not even close. If it wasn't for the hard straight men of the old corps we would all be speaking Japanese or German right now. We are tasked with never forgetting our heritage or history while also ignoring unimportant nonsense. It would be wise for current "leadership" to do the same. *RIP to our fallen and God bless the legendary Marines of old.*
