Storming Iwo – Loaded with battle-wise Marines of the Fifth Amphibious Corps, LSM (Landing Ship Medium) dash for the beach at Iwo Jima shortly after H-hour in the invasion of that enemy bastion, 660 miles from the Japanese homeland. Shrouded by the smoke of the naval bombardment, Mount Suribachi, miniature volcano at the southern tip of the island, appears in the background. OFFICIAL U.S. MARINE CORPS PHOTO

Lance Cpl. Chris Eichelberger, a Huey door gunner with a Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 169, and a native of San Diego, Calif., unloads on a target at the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range, Calif., Wednesday. Huey door gunners participated in the close-air support exercise as supporting gunners for the student pilot to be able to learn to communicate and coordinate with the two gunners on the helicopter.
