Tuesday/title:Code Talker, chapter 26 The Black Beach/pgs:183-195,min:20
After firing rapidly at the island hoping to kill the Japanese, as the smoke raised up they saw that the island was left untouched but then the enemy shells shattered at the boats. Ned and the Marines had to swim to the island and the Japanese were waiting so they would get close enough to attack. They were like sitting ducks on a hill. Smitty was digging a hole for protection and Ned was sending radio transmissions. Ned was safe now in their foxhole and he ate his steak sandwich, the enemy was screaming on the radio to scare the solders, since they both had the same transmissions. The mission was to take Mount Suribachi and they would win the island, they had taken the island and six men put up the American flag and one was Navajo, this was so famous that they made a statue of all the men and man named Sergent Louis Lowery had a camera and took a picture but it had been crushed by two enemy solder attacked and they crushed it but the film was luckily saved. Bad for Ned that he was below were it had happened, he had missed a glorious moment.
