World War II veteran USMC Gen. Fred Haynes
talks about the battle of Iwo Jima... Iwo was a fight all day long and all night long for 36 days. When I hit the beach, when we were greeted then by a tremendous barrage of artillery, mortars, machine guns. I couldn't help but think of Kipling's famous poem, Gunga Din -- "Din, Din Din, with the bullets kicking dust spots on the green".
