It's been 67 years since Glen Kanig landed on Iwo Jima as a 21-year-old Marine Corps corporal. But he'll never forget the intensity of that battle.
"You have some ghosts who come back with you," he said.
Kanig, 88, told his war story Tuesday aboard the carrier Midway, as part of U-T San Diego's series, "The Legacy of WWII."
His company hit the beach on this volcanic Pacific island with 270 men. When the battle ended five weeks later, only 28 men were present -- and many of them had been wounded.
