Of the six men who raised the second flag on Iwo Jima on February 23, 1945, three were killed in action shortly after the iconic photo was taken, while the remaining three survived the battle but faced life-long challenges, including PTSD and misidentification of their roles.



Fallen in Action (Killed on Iwo Jima):
Sgt. Michael Strank: Killed by shellfire (likely friendly) on March 1, 1945.
Cpl. Harlon Block: Killed by a mortar shell on March 1, 1945.
Pfc. Franklin Sousley: Killed by a sniper on March 21, 1945.


Surviving Flag-Raisers:
Pfc. Ira Hayes: A Pima Native American who struggled with survivors' guilt and alcoholism after the war. He died in 1955 of alcohol poisoning and exposure.

Pfc. Rene Gagnon: Worked various jobs after the war, struggling to escape the fame. He died of a heart attack in 1979.

Pfc. Harold Schultz: Misidentified for over 70 years, it was discovered in 2016 that he was in the photo, not John Bradley. Schultz rarely spoke of his role, lived a quiet life, and died in 1995.

ETA: John Basilone, Medal of Honor recipient from Guadacanal, was also killed on Iwo Jima where he was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.

Not only the costs of war but also the impact it makes back home. Both grandpas were in WWII and grandmas were alive during that time too. I remember doing a project in the 8th grade about how America rationed during the war. Can you imagine asking people today to donate pots and pans that weren't being used in the house. Not getting as much sugar and other items because they were needed on the war front. So many things average Americans had to give up because it was needed more on the war front.

Slave quarters not big enough for my butler. Hard pass.

54 Days. OIF I The first 18 days were wearing the same cammies under the MOPP suit. The cammies became stiff as cardboard and our hair was so oily it was like having gel in it.

After the 54 days they got us in groups of 10 and sprayed us with basically what amounted to a pressure washer. Lathered up then they sprayed us down again. Went about another 30 days before I took an actual shower in a shower trailer.

Will you be running AC full time when it warms up again? If so, change your receptacle out to a 20A and you're good.

No, only when loading it to head out for camping. And maybe at night if someone needs it to sleep for a night although that won't happen often. I've already changed the receptacle to a 20A.

Over the summer I was able to acquire a 25ft travel trailer. The AC unit on top is 13000BTU. Trailer is 30amp and I got the dog tail for shore power to plug into a house outlet. I've run the AC while we were loading it for a trip and someone stayed the night in it with the AC running and everything went fine. Now I've heard you shouldn't run the AC unless you are on a 30amp because it could damage the capacitor. I looked at the breaker in the breaker box and it is 20amp and the outlet its plugged into is also 20amp.

From googling, a 13000 AC runs on about 12.5 amps and the starting amps are 18-20.

Am I fine to keep running it as long as I don't run anything else in the camper or should I stop using the AC while it is plugged into my house?

I guess it is somewhat funny but he is messing with people while they are trying to work wasting their time.

Like others have said you will eventually have to clean the cup because it will gunk up over time. What I noticed that fixed the problem was using the higher end softener. The cheap stuff is thicker and causes it to gunk up much more. You also don't need to use as much as you think. A little goes a long way.

Give Angelo's a call.

For that amount of chickens just build one big coop and run.
