On February 19, 1945, American Marines began fighting their bloodiest battle--it lasted 36 days--on a small Pacific island whose name became synonymous with honor and heroism. Ed McMahon hosts this poignant reunion at the battleground, 40 years after the American flag was raised over it. Veterans from both sides returned to strengthen ties for peace. They met, recalled fallen comrades, and shared the mutual hope that Iwo Jima will always be remembered and never repeated.
