I give major props to those Marines. A neighbor of my Dad's fought on Iwo. From what I have read, it is the only major battle in the PTO where Marine casualty numbers (total) exceeded that of the Japanese. With just over 1000 Japanese (out of the roughly 22K) taken prisoner, it was one brutal fight.

Not a whole lot of places to hide, eh?
