Veteran Archives - Ashes to Space

Space Beyond announces Hero Tributes, where all Americans can honor US service members and veterans by sponsoring their mission to space. Retired U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Edward Mix, a 5th Marine Division Iwo Jima Veteran, shares a photograph taken during the Battle of Iwo Jima at a tour of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in commemoration of the 73d Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima, Feb 15, 2018. Iwo Jima was a major World War II battle in which the United States Marine Corps landed on and eventually captured the island of Iwo Jima from the Japanese Imperial Army. Veterans of the battle and their family members were invited to Camp Pendleton for a tour which included a special reaction team static display, Meal Ready to Eat sampling, and a tour of the Assault Craft Unit-5.
