Came across your site, as part of my research into the time I spent on the Iwo Jima. I was part of the very first crew on the ship. Reporting to it while it was still under construction. I also know the island structure that you have (how did that come about?) very well, since I spent most of my tour as the tower operator, up in the island, overviewing the flight deck. If I ever get close to Texas, I'll have to stop by and take a look.
