The raising of the American Flag on D-Day, February 19, 1945 on Mount Suribachi, Japan.Texas -- The Folks and other Riders of North Texas will honor WWII Veterans today during a reenactment of the raising of the American flag.
Update: First report in (from Nubbin). This year had 44 survivors and 2 CMoH winners including Marine, Woody Williams. We had a 160 patriots show up and hold flags in honor of these heroes!
Update #2 and photos:
Nezzie (Mom) reports: There were 88 bikes, 147 patriots and at least 10 cages for this years Iwo Jima Reunion. She said, "It was a wonderful sight to see all the bikes arrive at the hotel before the reunion started." There were three gold star families there, including Nubbin and Angela and the Maldonado family. Ted (Dad) held the Air Force flag inside the building until he met a young Air Force S/Sgt whom he asked if he would like to hold the flag for the first time in a flag line. The young man accepted. Nezzie (Mom) stood the flag line inside the ceremony room. she said, "It was a very exciting and a very emotional thing again this year."
