Subject: Thank you.
My grandfather rarely talked to Iwo Jima, but he did talk about the Glamour Gal and a film about it. Thank you for posting it. My grandfather, Thomas Owen Bratcher, from Tennessee- was part of the 10 in the G company, 13 Marine of the 5th Marines. You have given us a view of what he saw. My grandfather died in 1998. I am very proud to have this and to watch this. THANK YOU!
