Iwo Jima 75th Anniversary Magazine

We are raising money in order to print a magazine commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima.  In February 2020 we will host all of the American surviving Veterans of the Battle who live in the western half of the United States.  A beautifully printed magazine will be given to each Veteran and their family members who attends the ceremony (approximately 750 people).  

This magazine project and the commemoration event are designed to honor those Veterans who fought in this iconic battle.   The commemoration ceremony has been held aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton since 1986 and this will be the last year we will celebrate this event.  Many of the Veterans are getting too old to travel or their health is failing.

This magazine production is being put together by a group of volunteers called the Iwo Jima Commemorative Committee.  We have one Iwo Jima Survivor left on the committee.  The funds are to be used only for the printing as all research and compilation of the magazine will be done by the committee volunteers.

The value to the Veterans and their family members is priceless as all of their stories will be told and their contribution to this country will be captured for historical purposes.  Please help us make this gift to our Iwo Jima Survivors a reality.  There are only a few left and we want to let them know how grateful we are for their service to our country.
