Dan, a salute of gratitude to your Brother in Law's Uncle. Several surviors of Iwo Jima are still active a Marine Corps Veteran's group called Coopers Troopers (made of of Marine's of all ages who served in various conflects). We meet every 3rd Thursday for lunch here in Colorado. FYI A print of this Iwo Jima painting also hangs in Senetor Pearlmutter's office, as our group of Iwo Vets gave it to him as a special thanks for making it politically possible for them to return to the Japanese island in 2010. Semper Fidelis, Dean Glorso
