Sunday morning

Nothing like reading The Times on Sunday morning. Here's a superb video detailing the WW2 Battle of Iwo Jima - my former neighbor George Schuler served on this tiny island in the Pacific - one of the bloodiest battles of the war w/7,000 Americans killed and 21,000 Japanese. In the video, a letter from a dead Japanese soldier is returned to his family by an American serviceman from Brookline, MA, 60 years after he took it from the dead man's pocket.
