Rare film on Iwo Jima

I did not know that the US used JATOs (jet assist take off) on prop jobs.

Thanks so much for posting this. Makes me think of all the wasted potential. Makes me think of my dad (18 year old pharmasist mate) bobbing around on a little boat on a big ocean and all the horribly wounded Marines/salilors he treated. Makes any hardship I have faced so small.

So young. So brave. All of them, theirs and ours.

Anyone have kids in school? Do they even teach this these days?

I noticed you didn't use the words school and teach in the same sentence :bitch:
