This is an interview conducted in the 90s by the University of Oregon with my grandfather Charles "Bill" William Chandler. He served in the Battle of Iwo Jima as a surgeon's assistant with the Marine Corps. In the interview, he details his journey from high school in Indiana on to serving with the Marine Corps in Iwo Jima. The details he remembers are astounding, even down to the exact date that he was first sworn into the Navy. He died May 18th, 2015 at the age of 90.
The quality isn't quite the best just because it was converted from VHS but it's definitely worth watching. A huge thank you to my uncle Eric for making copies of this for the family. It will definitely be cherished for years to come.
