Some very interesting photos accompanied the article.
One shows U.S. Marines hoisting the U.S. flag on the summit of Mt. Suribachi, but one a flagpole. Iwo Jima is now called Ioto. It was one of the war's most bloody and iconic battles.
Picture of Japan's Defense Minister Gen Nakatani shaking hands with a U.S. veteran of the battle.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
