The only black battalion on Iwo Jima was a small munitions supply unit that came to the beach.

Clint Eastwood

With 'Letters from Iwo Jima,' then 'Memories of Tomorrow,' I reached a sort of turning point in my acting. I had poured so much of myself into those movies that I really had no idea where to go from there.

Ken Watanabe

No other island received as much preliminary pounding as did Iwo Jima.

Chester W. Nimitz

Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue.

Chester W. Nimitz

In 'Letters from Iwo Jima,' there were times when I told Eastwood, 'This is just not believable.'

Ken Watanabe

I wish I could put a patent on that thing. That was so straight I had to lean over sideways to see the flag!

Gary Player

We are not putting ground troops into Iraq ever again. And we're not putting ground troops into Syria. We're going to defeat ISIS without committing American ground troops.

Hillary Clinton

My father was one of the first six guys ashore on Iwo Jima. He's 86 years old now, and every single night of his life, he has nightmares, and he wakes yelling.

Jeff Lindsay

In college, I actually did some work on a documentary project talking to Vietnam vets about the images of war and how it changed. When they grew up, it was like 'Sands of Iwo Jima' and there was this, you know - after Vietnam, there was a whole different way of looking at war.

Ron Livingston

I remind you again we had those elections [in Afghanistan and Iraq] because we had boots on the ground and we had people that could help people, and we had people on the ground that could get into somebody's face when they had to, and do whatever was required.

Peter Schoomaker

SST was formed to put out the first Black Flag record. Basically, there wasn't anyone else to do it. I felt that what I was doing with Black Flag was very worthwhile, and I wanted to get it out there.

Greg Ginn

I said that we needed to have people on the ground, troops on the ground in a coalition similar to what we had in the first Gulf War.

John Kasich

It's inspiring to see Black Flag looking like Vietnamese farmers with big beards and those kind of Vietnamese farming hats showing up at a Mohawk-mania club in England and being spat at because they don't sound or look like Exploited; they sound more like Black Sabbath than Black Flag. I love that.

Cedric Bixler-Zavala

I love Coney Island. I saw all different kinds of people - Russian, Italian, black, Puerto Rican, rich people in Sea Gate and in the co-ops. You'd see people in the co-ops or in the houses, and it was like, Man, I wish I could have this. I wish my mother and father could buy me this. Me being an independent thinker, I was like, I'm gonna get that.

Stephon Marbury

I don't want any romantics to go into the military. I'm not a pacifist. I think we need a military, and the better one we have, the better off we are. I don't want kids going in there thinking that it's John Wayne on Iwo Jima. That's not healthy.
