There is an effort to find the graves of Marines killed a buried on the island during the fighting. The ocean level is rising and in the near future the island will disappear. One man in our neighborhood was a Marine during WWII and was on both Tarawa and Iwo. He never talked about either and we never asked. We knew better. He and my father, also a Marine, would talk, but not to us about action they saw. My father opened up A couple of years ago about fighting in Korea, landing at Inchon, pushing up to the Chinese border, and how cold it was. He’s 90 now, but still going strong.
