Much fierce fighting on Iwo Jima remained but it was apparent that the Marines would be victorious ( the war ended March 18.) The Pickens had completed its job and was headed back to Saipan.
i don't remember just when I left my job on deck and returned to the radar shack. We were listening to the TBS when we heard a frightened voice exclaim, "I'm hit, I'm going down!" The pilot's cry brought the war home to me like nothing else.
