Iwo Jima & WWII: Remembered by Lee Vinyard



Today is the 233rd birthday of the United States Marine Corps. Erin's grandfather along with many of her relatives were Marines and this year at the annual birthday celebration, we met Lee. Lee, was on Iwo Jima when they raised the flag and the video below is his shared memories from the day.

We really enjoyed talking with Lee and are both so thankful he was willing to share his thoughts and experiences with us. We are so blessed to live in a free country and in many cases we owe our thanks to men like Lee who fought for our freedom.
