Hindsight Is Notably Cleverer Than Foresight.

The Battle Of Iwo Island Has Been Won. The United States Marines By Their Individual And Collective Courage Have Conquered A Base Which Is As Necessary To Us In Our Continuing Forward Movement Toward Final Victory As It Was Vital To The Enemy In Staving Off Ultimate Defeat.

Among The Men Who Fought On Iwo Jima, Uncommon Valor Was A Common Virtue.

The Japanese Had, In Fact, Already Sued For Peace. The Atomic Bomb Played No Decisive Part, From A Purely Military Point Of View, In The Defeat Of Japan.

It Is The Function Of The Navy To Carry The War To The Enemy So That It Will Not Be Fought On U.s. Soil.
