[QUOTE="mdmdogs3, post: 286488, member: 2745"] I'm so cynical anymore :( I just had to check to see if this was true and :) :) :) it is! [url=http://www.snopes.com/military/sixboys.asp]http://www.snopes.com/military/sixboys.asp[/url] The Boys of Iwo Jima Claim: Article describes talk given to a group of Wisconsin schoolchildren at the Iwo Jima memorial. Status: True. Origins: The above-quoted article was written in October 2000 by Wisconsin resident Michael T. Powers (whose name has been omitted from most of the Internet-circulated versions), transcribed from a videotape he made of a talk given by author James Bradley at the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia.
