I was lucky to meet his father Ray...We are slowly losing our hero's of WWII..
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Re: Redding Marine helped raise first Iwo Jima flag dies

I'm grateful that Clint Eastwood made the movie "Flags of our Fathers" as this was a story I never knew about until seeing the film.
I'm sure he and his family were pleased to have seen the movie made & the true story of the first flag raising on Iwo Jima as millions worldwide now know what was achieved by these brave Marines in that terrible campaign.
