These are the men we carry during 3 cruise in' WEST PAC. During the long days at sea, most of them have little to do. But when we reach the objective area and the order comes to Land the Landing Force , the re are fewer of us who would offer to trade places with them. Ahead they will face die guns of the VC. But even more desparate in this war, they face a hostile land. A land of heat and steaming jungle. Insects, leeches, mud and grime. Snakes lurk to snuff out a careless life. jungle grass can cut a man to bone. It is a wild and dirty place to seek a hidden enemy on his own ground. But the Marines do the job well. They return to IWO with pride in a successful mission. .'? !.1'- , lc Viet Nam surf. is dirty .i -..,. ,Q 3: -1 ' , 7 'C , 1 t- 3 1' A CP ' 1 947 I 1' 'T or - A Q i 1' a X T 4 1 1 Cool iced punch On IWO's hangar -19' iQf' A I' I if L Ground wire first -f,,.

There were 495 ships, 1170 planes and 111, 308 troops thrown against the entrenched japanese defenders. On 23 February a 40 man detach ment of the 28th Marines unfurled the stars and Stripes atop Mount Suribachi, but the fight continued until 16 March. By then 4590 Americans had given their lives to defeat more than 20, 000 japanese. Truly as Ad- miral Nimitz said of IWO Uncommon Valor was a common virtue. ,V ps.

Still there was time to wan- der a little and sample the bargains in the many loeal shops. Many of us made the trip to Taipei, capital city of Tai- wan. One must stop there was the Grand Hotel with its very plush and or- nate decoration. Keelung was our only liberty stop with Marines and a full s uadron aboard. It was the first eom- Cl bined liberty port in about 18 months. vii J-3:-f-ws M,,,,.s . - HONG E-gf -., , t I 1 QA 1:-1-gm 1 KONG junk fleet Smdeuts board Iwo for ship's tour al- 4 S mogg skyline 120 Mysterious und intriguing. That is Hong Kong. Iwo hud five days in this city of cities. lt is said that anything madc in the world can be bought in Hong Kong. A short walk down most any street will convince you this is true. The shopping prob- lem is deciding where to buy what you want and what to choose from all that is there. And the prices arc so very low you can easily go broke saving money. But when thc money is gone, there are tours to points of interest in and around Hong Kong The New Territories tour and Hong Kong at night are excellent. tw vi,?4A..L,, Z. kg. vi I, 'L , .1 mr'mc:mm'mtg1w:g'r My y y f ff Cargo junk delivers to Iwo . ,,, . ,.

For five days we did our best to buy out the exchanges and shops. Fifteen motor- cycles came aboard plus countless loads ol china and stereo equipment. This was the last chance to buy souvenirs for home - it was also the last chance to enjoy japanese hospitality. Tokyo is just under two hours away by train. There were organized tours or you could go it alone with some ship- mates. Others stopped in Yokohama, Ka- makora or any one oi the many towns be- fore Tokyo. Soon it was time to sail.
