Iwo Jima

The JAG Office took a trip to Iwo Jima recently. We were able to fly down on two of the Army's jets and brought a Japanese historian from the Ground Self-Defense Force with us. Here is a picture of Mount Fuji as we took off.

Here is Chris with Mount Suribachi in the background.

The black sand beaches of Iwo Jima, and a pillbox. The whole island is vocanic, hot, and smells like sulfur.
