Title: Iwo Jima Operation, 1945
Description: Main Street, Iwo Jima - Business as usual (is) the motto of the Fourth Marine Division post office, established in a canvas covered dugout on Iwo. Mail from home is as vital to front line troops as ammunition, and rates the same priority (on) cargo shipping lists. (quoted from the original caption released with this photograph in 1945). Photographed by Technical Sergeant H. Neil Gillespie, USMC. Official U.S. Marine Corps Photograph, from the All Hands magazine collection at the Naval History and Heritage Command.
