“There’s nothing glamorous about war”. – Ed Boswell

This is the story of Iwo Jima survivor Ed Boswell. Of his entire platoon, Ed was the only member to walk off of this Pacific battlefield of WWII. All the rest were killed or wounded. Ed’s service story communicates the truth about war – there’s nothing glamorous – while making clear just why his generation has been called the ‘greatest’.
