A Marine admires the view from the beach of Iwo Jima here Dec. 16. The Marines and sailors of Marine Wing Headquarters Squadron 1, visited the island to conduct a study of the famous Battle of Iwo Jima as part of the unit’s professional military education program. “This is every Marine’s dream,” said Gunnery Sgt. Christopher Brewer, a Dover, Dela. native and embarkation chief for MWHS-1, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. “It’s a surreal feeling to be here given the history of what this island means to all Marines and sailors.” MWHS-1 is part of 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force.
