This is a little bit off topic to the Mil Surp subforum but I figured this is the best place to put this on NES.
Grandfather's account of the Battle of Iwo Jima. He served in the Navy aboard the USS Talladega.
Take note the last page is a memorandum of the first day of battle.
I only found out about this diary last Thanksgiving; my grandmother (age 96) still has it among his things. Unfortunately he passed away in the early 70s but like most WW2 vets my Dad said he never talked about any of this stuff.
