Mr. Sage, thank you for your service. For folks who haven’t read his book, “Memories of a Table Rock Boy,” it is terrific. Maybe still available on Amazon. I treasure my autographed copy.
My dad G. Greeley Wells [senior] was on Iwo and had so many stories too. His was the first flag that was raised. The second had the great pix taken of it. When the first went up the whole island cheered and fired guns, the ships at sea the same!!!! Quite a moment but it was only the third day of a month of fighting and death. He was wounded and survived by staying where he was and letting it heal, kept working as a first lieutenant.

Nice. Felt like I was there.
