on an LCI in a 20mm gun tub trading fire with pillboxes in the base of Mt Surabachi. He watched the flag raising from that same gun tub through binoculars.
Then later as fighting moved inland they shuttled wounded to hospital ships off shore.
If he was still alive he'd puff on his pipe, say "72 years ago? Huh, I'll be damned" and not really say anything more about it.
