Default Re: Medal of Honor Day March 25th

March 26,1945 marked the end of the Battle of Iwo Jima: The Medal of Honor, America’s highest military honor, was presented to 22 Marines (12 posthumously) and 5 to sailors, 4 who were Navy Corpsmen (2 of those were posthumous) during the battle of Iwo Jima. There are approximately 1,200 Veterans of Iwo Jima alive today.
