Dedicated to those, who compelled by a cause greater than themselves, met the Wall of Fire... with Courage.
On 23 February 1945, Iwo Jima was taken. I’m not going to pretend to understand the adrenaline-laden feeling of what must have taken great courage and daring. I only know that we should never forget. I suspect though, that this “feeling” is something quiet and resolute... an acceptance of one’s purpose and self-sacrifice. That is what this piece is about... not the outward imagery of heroism, but the resolve of a single individual who has accepted a cause, a charge, that exceeds him or her, inspires him or her... and lifts him or her.
