Raising the U.S. flag on the Island of Iwo Jima

In spring of 1945, American navy and marines attacked the Japanese islands of Iwo Jima and Okinawa in the Pacific

What did we do? President Harry Truman who took over when
Roosevelt died-had to help make this hard, horrible decision. Them or us?
What would you do?
