Why I believe John “Doc” Bradley knew he wasn’t in the Joe Rosenthal “Iwo Jima Flag Raising” image and why he would have kept it to himself
As promised, the original story in the Omaha World-Herald is here along with the outstanding graphic evidence (that is magnifiable) that was used by amateur historians to convince the United States Marine Corps to investigate whether the identities of the “Flag Raisers” were accurate.

The pride of (kinda) winning an Olympic Gold Medal & ham and escalloped potatoes: Chef Kim Holmes
1st Marine Division CG MajGen Eric Smith is rebuked by USN-USMC appeals court… GOOD FOR HIM — and other DOD Headlines
MajGen Eric M. Smith
Commanding General
1st Marine Division
Marine Corps Times reported today that MajGen Eric Smith, the CG of the 1st Marine Division, “was rebuked by a military appeals court for his “personal interest” and bias in overseeing a hazing court-martial” —- GOOD FOR HIM! Hazing is a significant problem that endures in the Marine Corps and the Corps needs STRONG leaders to take HARD stances. Most senior officers shrink from strong stances, not extending themselves because that effort might risk a promotion to a higher rank.
The POLITICALLY CORRECT general officers of today need to be more blunt.
In the case in question, there was no mention of the actions that the Marine in question took… hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, but MajGen Smith’s attempt to eliminate hazing from the Division is out of bound! GARBAGE. The purpose of the UCMJ is “to promote good or and discipline” — is that a thing of the past?

AS IT HAPPENED: seventy-three years after the landing on Iwo Jima we listen to reports and audio from February 19, 1945
Island X (Iwo Jima)
February 19, 1945
Seventy-three years ago today Marines and Sailors went ashore on the island of Iwo Jima, the audio record is incredible from reporters observing from battleships, to reporters embedded with Marine infantry units in the landing to USMC Combat Correspondents filing reports from the battlefield.
Most unique in the audio you’ll hear is audio from A Company, 4th Tank Battalion as they fight ashore, engaging the Japanese and as they seek a way off the beach in order to support the infantry assault on Air Field #1.
You’ll also hear network audio as the major networks broke into “regular programming” to update the American public on progress on an island they had never heard of: Iwo Jima, which all knew was on the doorstep of mainland Japan.

Iwo Jima landing remembered, the FBI & VA struggle and other DOD Headlines
Andrew Napolitano
Retired New Jersey Superior Court Judge
Fox News Contributor
QUESTION: last week I asked — is it was too much to think that FBI Agents in Mississippi who received a tip from a YouTube blogger about Florida high school shooter Nikolas Cruz, search for that name in the ATF firearms database (he spells it uniquely)?
ANSWER: Fox News Contributor and former Judge Andrew Napolitano says that’s exactly what they should have done.
TRUTH: still waiting to find out if the FBI would devote that kind of work to such a nebulous tip. However, they thought it was significant enough to go conduct an interview with the YouTube page owner.
More to follow.

Ben Kaler
Most of what we read on the front pages of news websites and in our news papers about the US Veterans Administration is not good. But good things are happening there as President Trumps keeps veteran healthcare and support at the top of his administration’s agenda. We’ll talk to two Marine veterans who are VA employees and who are pushing from their end to get to veterans who need help: Ben Kaler served as an infantry officer in 2/4 and Tim Hudak was an enlisted intelligence specialist for HMH-363.

A MORNING IN THE MIDST OF HEROES: 77 Years of Valor on display at the 1st Marine Division Battle Colors Rededication

Remarks by the CG of the 1st Marine Division, MajGen Eric Smith

Former Division CG MajGen Richard C. McMonagle, USMC (ret)
It’s not often that one feels small when you make your living in the media because you have “a voice,” but on Friday, February 2, 2018 at the Headquarters of the 1st Marine Division one could not help but feel insignificant. The Division rededicated its Battle Colors with the veterans who have written many of those chapters on hand. It was humbling to simply be in their midst.
As always, the Division Band entertained and one by one the honors accorded to the historic 1st Marine Division by virtue of its valor in combat were placed on the Division’s Battle Colors. Each streamer was brought to the Battle Colors by veterans of the Division, each escorted by a Marine currently serving in the Division. MajGen Eric Smith, the CG of the Division, spoke of the weight of the Division’s history and how mindful today’s 1st Division Marines are of the long shadow that is cast over them and how they strive to live up to the standards that the Division has written over the course of its 77 year history.
The “training highlight” of the day for this writer was to see the first Division Commander that I served under, MajGen Richard C. McMonagle, USMC (ret) and to stand at the position of attention in the midst of heroes, the Marines and Sailors who have written the incredible chapters in the history of the 1st Marine Division, to see them in their 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s proudly stand at attention or close to it as the Marines Hymn boomed in the Southern California air.
