Going into the second episode, we're honored to sit down with WWII Iwo Jima Veteran Don Graves.
Saturday, March 4th at 6PM CST.
For most it’s an iconic moment captured in a timeless photo and placed in just about every U.S. history book in existence: that moment a group of United States Marines planted the American Flag on the peak of Iwo Jima during World War II.
It’s an image of patriotism for most, but for Don Graves it’s a memory that still lives as clearly in his mind as it did the day after he stood just feet away from that flag being planted in the rocks.
“That was my Colonel’s flag,” said Graves who was 19 when he and his unit fought in that infamous battle. “He gave it to Lt. Schrier and said, ‘put this up Harold. Get some boys together, and put it up for me.’”
Graves, who’s now in his 90’s, said gunfire was raining down on him and his fellow marines as they took in the sight of that flag being planted on the Japanese island; a battle that ended up being a major step in victory during the war.
