Re: Battle for Okinawa, 1945

A David Duncan Douglas photograph of Captain Ike Fenton became iconic of the Korean conflict. That photograph can be seen here:

Col. Ike Fenton, USMC, Retired, passed away from natural causes in 1998. He was the brother of Michael Fenton.

Ike's son, Col. George Fenton, USMC, Retired, lives in Virginia.

In some families, sacrifice is a family trait.

Wow. The Fenton family are true Patriots. My thanks to thier family could never be enough.

God Bless those who gave thier lives and those who serve. I can only hope to do something so noble.
