In February 1945, 70,000 U.S. Marines landed on the island of Iwo Jima—an eight-square-mile fortress defended by over 20,000 entrenched Japanese soldiers. What followed was one of the most grueling and iconic battles in American military history.
In this special episode of Echo Valor, we dive deep into the timeline, strategy, heroism, and heartbreak of the Battle of Iwo Jima. You'll hear the story behind the flag on Mount Suribachi, the price of every inch of black volcanic sand, and the valor of men whose courage echoed across generations.
From Medal of Honor recipients to the haunting silence of the caves, this is the full story—told with reverence, truth, and gratitude.
