U.S. COAST GUARD
PHOTOGRAPH : Amtracs Trapped in Iwo's Fire and Sand. Some of them stopped by
the fierce enfilading fire of the Japanese, others half buried by the
treacherous volcanic ash spewed out in the years gone by from the craters of
Mount Suribachi/Marines and Coast Guard beach parties, in background, operate
communications and command posts and foxhole "hospitals," as assault troops
shove the enemy away from the embattled beaches. 3/14/1945
