Birthdays today : John Henry "Jack" "Doc" Bradley (July 10, 1923 – January 11, 1994) was an American United States Navy Hospital corpsman in World War II who was awarded the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism in combat on February 21, 1945 while assigned to a U.S. Marine Corps rifle company during the Battle of Iwo Jima.
Bradley received national recognition for over 70 years as being one of the six servicemen who had raised the U.S. flag (replacement flag) atop Mount Suribachi on February 23, 1945, in Joe Rosenthal's World War II photograph Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. On June 23, 2016, the Marine Corps announced Bradley was not in this photo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bradley_(United_States_Navy) https://youtu.be/GFRnkVqeD0w

I have the honor to have had Loyal Holly, and Marine who fought on Iwo Jima as a witness at my wedding. The wedding was heals at the Bonham, TX. V.A. Chapel. Didn't even know he served on Iwo Jima until watching an AE program. Called Heroes of Iwo Jima.

May get more and more difficult as generations pass on and who knows, might even get to the point where no one cares or the way our Flag is being demeaned, some lunatics (the ungrateful Liberal generation) may try and have the monument removed.
