I was really looking forward to posting a surpise here. I was scheduled to go on an overnight trip to Iwo Jima this afternoon, returning tomorrow night. I'd walk the black sands, climb Mount Suribachi, and feel the history. For the Marine Corps, Iwo Jima is sacred ground.
But it was not to be. For reasons of "operational tempo" the trip was cancelled by higher headquarters. So it goes.

This has nothing to do with Iwo Jima (although I could kick myself in the ass for being that close and never getting over to it), I just saw this story about an Air Wing Top and thought I would pass it on in case you know him or his family.
