Iwo Jima

My sponsor, the Marine that kind of put Day and I in the swing of things. She got the opportunity to go to Iwo Jima. She got back sometime today, and during our motivating field day, she came up to me and asked for Day. Day's on duty, and she said she had something for me. So I followed her out side, and she had this big bag of sand. At this point I had no clue where she had been. So she starts pouring me this small bag of sand. I didn't really know what it was, but the sand is black. She then told me about what she had done, and told me about how it's sand from Iwo Jima.

So I have a small bag of sand from the beach that was the sight of one of the bloodiest battles in Marine history. Kind of a big thing. I'll be sending it home, I don't want anything to happen to it.

This Sunday, she invited Day and I to some festival at some castle on the island, it should be a good time. If we go, I'll take pictures.
