Memories of Iwo Jima

Memories of Iwo Jima

Last week marked the 76th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Iwo Jima — a brutal, bloody fight that effectively ended the war in the Pacific in 1945. A small group of Capital Region veterans would've typically gathered to mark this anniversary at a café in Altamont, where they’d swap stories. This year the dwindling group, now in their mid-90s, didn't have that option, with a pandemic raging and the café closed. Yet they still got together on the phone. On this episode of the Eagle, reporter Pete DeMola talks about what he learned listening to them share their stories. Also on this episode, Casey Seiler and criminal justice reporter Rob Gavin sat down with NXIVM whistleblowers Sarah Edmondson and Anthony "Nippy" Ames to talk about their new podcast, and where they are now that Keith Raniere is imprisoned for life. Please listen with care, as this episode contains explicit language and graphic depictions of war. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
