He served with Company C, 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Division as a 60mm mortarman. He served in the Battle of Iwo Jima at the age of 20. “I joined the Marine Corps because at the time I saw all these signs and Marines walking around and I admired them. I always said to myself if I joined the service it would be in the Marines,” said Shearer.
