Graves B. Erskine, commander of 3d Marine Division at Iwo Jima, was from Sikes, La.

Trivia: Iwo Jima was not a complete Marine show. The 147th Infantry Regiment, Ohio National Guard, was attached and had some of the toughest sledding.

My great uncle died on Iwo Jima (pictured on left). Was just doing research on him last night. Strange.
