Keil Gentry is a retired Marine Officer, an artilleryman by trade with a long distinguished career. He joined ALL MARINE RADIO to discuss his experiences as part of three different boards that two different Commandants of the Marine Corps convened to look into the accuracy of Marines identified as “Flag Raisers” on Iwo Jima. Keil tells an amazing story that unfolds over the course of seventy-plus years… that surrounds one of the most iconic images in American history… with a narrative that tells the very human stories of the Marines who fought on Iwo Jima, who were involved in either one or two flag raisings… and who tried their best to put it behind them after they came home from the Pacific.
An awesome interview!
