Pickens leaves Iwo to prepare for Okinawa

The battle for Iwo Jima would continue until America would gain victory March 26, but the Pickens had left and proceeded to Saipan to prepare for Okinawa.  For as long as I am alive and able, I will remember and comment on Iwo Jima.  This expresses my feelings:

     "Iwo Jima will live in the hearts of  all persons who were there.  No others will ever know the tortures this little island prodouced.
