Please join the Carpatho-Rusyn Society: Dallas Chapter as we honor United States soldiers of "The Greatest Generation" who served on Iwo Jima in WWII. The program will be in two parts. Part 1 will commemorate the life and sacrifice of Sergeant Michael Strank, of Carpatho-Rusyn descent. Sgt.Strank was one of six men immortalized in the flag-raising photo on Mt. Suribachi. Sadly, he was killed in action shortly after the famous photo was taken. We will show a short documentary film, "Our Flag Still Waves", which is a personal story of Sgt. Strank's life as told by family members, neighbors, and veterans.
Part 2 of the program will feature local WWII Iwo Jima veteran, Marine Corporal Don Graves. Don will present his first-hand account of the harrowing experience on Iwo Jima that will have audience members riveted to their seats as they see battle through his eyes.
