Iphi's Tribute to Iwojima
From Webtravels:
"The National Iwo Jima Memorial Monument was unveiled and dedicated on February 23, 1995, the 50th Anniversary of the historic flag raising on Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima, during World War II. It was conceived and designed by Dr. George Gentile, founder and President of the Iwo Jima Survivors Association, Inc. Funds for the monument were raised by Iwo Jima battle survivors, all members of the Association. It is dedicated to the memory of the 6,821 Americans who gave their lives at Iwo Jima."
Iota Phi has never claimed to be a historically-aware chapter, but in honor of the brave soldiers who risked and lost their lives in the Battle of Iwo Jima, we pay them this tribute:
This is Vince, Drew, Jackson, and Aris (Mu Zeta) posing in the form of the Iwo Jima Memorial Statue. It was taken at Section 4's spring 2004 conference at Omicron Zeta.
Another reason why we pay them the tribute is that we just wanted something cool to do with our new flag. *GRIN*
