My Dad, Dale P. Reed was on the UUS Sanborn during this. He only spoke about the invasion once. Other Navy stuff yes, Iwo Jime only once. He went out on a landing craft with the fixed lines to secure the boat and shot a M-16 over his head. He enlisted at 17 yrs old.

My Dad, Lester Morris, from Honey Island, Texas served on the Sanborn and was a member of the beach party who made the landing on Iwo Jima on February 19.
