Iowa Jima?

I found a great picture here.
The Thing of the moment by Jeff Kirlin.

It made me smile because the famous Iowa Jima picture sprang to mind.

That's great! I actually live very close to the Iwo Jima memorial in DC. I need to get the Iowa Jima guys to do a little skip past it for a photo op! That would be fantastic...

Nice!!

Oh hey BD, I'm not much into golfing (because I suck at it), but I thought of you when I found this site! Also the extra clip at the bottom with Tiger's amazing shot... I am speechless on how awesome that was to see!

Sorry luv ....

The Marines put the flag up on Iwo Jima, and their motto is "Semper Fi", which means always faithful.

I was giving you the same "props".

Well done!
