Iwo Jima

My grandfather served as a Marine during WWII and fought in this epic battle. He received various medals and awards for service and valor. Iwo Jima, perhaps the most famous battle in the history of the USMC, is a place any military buff would love to visit. The photographic image of the flag raising high atop Mt. Suribachi remains an icon of freedom and liberty to this day. Historical and military tour offerings will take you to Iwo, but are usually quite expensive. I’m sure private charters would be equally or more expensive. If anyone knows of a group or company that offers tours to Iwo (for less than an arm and a leg) please contact me through this site. I am determined to visit this place!
