On this day in 1945 what happened…….crickets……..crickets….WW2…yes, Something in the Pacific….yes….the Philippines…yes we had won it back….bombs in Japan yup we have been firing bombing Tokyo….CPAP with Okinawa….yes getting hotter…70K USMCs and Army Infantry units land at IWO JIMA. The 36-day assault resulted in more than 26,000 American casualties, including 6,800 dead. Of the 20,000 Japanese defenders, only 1,083 survived. The Marines’ efforts, however, provided a vital link in the U.S. chain of bomber bases. By war’s end, 2,400 B-29 bombers carrying 27,000 crewmen would make unscheduled landings on the island
Historians described U.S. forces’ attack against the Japanese defense as “throwing human flesh against reinforced concrete.” In the end, Iwo Jima was won not only by the fighting spirit of the Marines, but by the meticulous planning and support provided by the Navy and Army through supply efforts, medical care, and air and naval gunfire.
Twenty-seven Medals of Honor were awarded to Marines and sailors, many posthumously, which was the highest number awarded for any single operation during the war.
