One of the coolest things to see in the Rio Grande Valley is the original mold for the Iwo Jima statue located in Harlingen near the airport.
Yes, for me it's kinda special. My uncle never talked about the war, but when he and I were next to my Dad during Hospice I told him how proud my Dad was of him and how he sent me an article about my Uncle in WWII.
He then proceeded to tell me how he showed up at Iwo Jima on day two. Everyone around him was getting killed or wounded. Nothing but carnage, but it was like he was in a bubble, never even got a scratch.
Every time I drive past that statue, I now think of my Uncle Harold (RIP).
