Agreed, LoA...the Iwo Jima picture is VERY important to the history of the United States...especially with Memorial Day coming up.

Surely, Rikard, there is a patriotic picture with the flag of the Netherlands?

I agree completely. That image is very special to American servicemen.

To put it this way Rikard almost 7000 US Marines and Sailors were killed in that battle and over 20,000 Japanese. As a former Marine your using that image that way is inappropriate. Try to have a little discretion eh?

I found it a little offensive, too. But hey, it IS a free country and all. His call. I would just hope he thought it was funny and didn't realize the HUGH historical AMERICAN background behind it.

I respect your decision not to post your motives, and I applaud your tact in removing it. A big thanks from all the Americans here.

Please do not generalize and say thank you for all Americans!

It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear ignorant,
than open it and remove all doubt!
