D-Day Marine Landing on Iwo Jima

February 19, 1945

Awoke this morning to find ships all over the place. A pretty sight. Don't feel so alone now. Marines hit the island at 0900 and they have been taking a beating all day. No work for us.

Planes came over last night and hit 15's ship and a couple of others. Plane passed at about 200 yards. Supposed to go in tomorrow. Think it's all a load of "bullshit".
