Retired Lt. Gen. Lawrence F. Snowden pays respect by bowing to the official Japanese party prior to giving his speech during the 67th Iwo Jima Reunion of Honor ceremony here March 14. The Battle of Iwo Jima lasted for 36 days and resulted in nearly 30,000 lives lost from both nations. This ceremony gave both countries the opportunity to honor the service members who lost their lives 67 years ago. The commemoration was hosted by the Iwo Jima Associations of America and Japan and coordinated with assistance from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Japan and the U.S. Marine Corps. Snowden is the chairman of Iwo Jima Association of America.
