Chief Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Equipment) Andrew Thomasson lays his grandfather's ashes to rest on Iwo Jima's Invasion Beach. Thomasson was with more than 60 chief petty officers and chief petty officer selectees taking part in a heritage trip that emphasized the historic significance for both U.S. and Japanese service members who fought in the Battle for Iwo Jima during World War II. Thomasson's grandfather took part in the initial U.S. invasion of the island. He later went on to raise a family near Wichita, Kan., and passed away at the age of 80.
