It is February 9th and every one have arrived at Iwo Jima. North of Mount Suribachi was the winning land. Iwo Jima is a small island and they thought that it would be easy to conquer but they were wrong. There was a new commander for the Japanese and he told them to kill at least 10 American solders before dieing. Most of the Japanese solders wore white bands around their foreheads and it was believed to help the wearer so they wouldn't get shot and die it was called the sinnimbaris. It didn't work for the Japanese for 20,000 were dead but so were many of us.
Some people thought that the island was like the underworld were the devil lives. The Japanese were well protected from the deep hole they dug, and well supplied too, they had tons of food and water. The marines were really mad that the food they had was labeled U.S.A FOOD RELIEF, and that food was stolen from the citizens of Japan and the Navajos were the one who gave them that food. Every time Ned ate the cook always told him" Good Luck, Leatherneck", but he knew that they were just joking and Just maybe he would die. When Ned got his lunch, he wrapped it and saved it for later and that was smart because he would have to go on a bout and most people through up and Ned could also save it when he if in his foxhole and he is starving.
