March 29, 1973 marks the end of U.S. combat operations in Vietnam and the release of the last acknowledged POWs.

🇺🇸 81 Years Ago Today — The Flag Raising on Mount Suribachi

On February 23, 1945, six U.S. Marines raised the American flag atop Mount Suribachi, creating one of the most iconic images in history. Joe Rosenthal’s photograph became a lasting symbol of courage, sacrifice, and the spirit of the Marine Corps.

The Battle of Iwo Jima was among the Pacific’s fiercest—nearly 7,000 Americans were killed and over 19,000 wounded. Their bravery on that volcanic island showed the world what Admiral Nimitz meant when he said, “Uncommon valor was a common virtue.”

Today, we honor their courage and remember the meaning behind that flag.

Semper Fidelis. 🇺🇸

Today we pause to honor the courage and sacrifice of Marines on Iwo Jima D-Day — Feb. 19, 1945, including Gunnery Sgt. John “Manila John” Basilone, whose bravery helped lead Marines ashore under withering fire and who gave his life in that fight. Their grit and valor will always be remembered.

REMEMBER the Fallen. HONOR those who Serve. TEACH the value of Freedom. 🇺🇸

On December 13, Girl Scout Troop #64155 joined Chili American Legion Family #1830 for Wreaths Across America Day at Westside & Chili Rural Cemeteries. Together with so many volunteers, families, and community members, we honored our heroes by placing remembrance wreaths on veterans’ graves.

Special thanks to the Lady Liberty Colorguard, Deputy Supervisor Mike Slattery, Connie Corwin, and everyone who came out to help make this tribute possible. ✨

Your support ensures our heroes are never forgotten. ❤️
