00:00:00,986 --> 00:00:03,984
- [Hershel "Woody" Williams] Thousands 
of Marines and Navy Corpsmen

2
00:00:03,984 --> 00:00:06,995
were lying their life on the line

3
00:00:07,903 --> 00:00:10,750
to capture a very small piece of ground

4
00:00:10,750 --> 00:00:13,840
that we now know as Iwo Jima.

5
00:00:14,030 --> 00:00:16,154
Most of us who were involved

6
00:00:16,154 --> 00:00:18,801
wondered why so many Marines

7
00:00:19,769 --> 00:00:21,344
were there to capture this

8
00:00:21,344 --> 00:00:24,572
very small piece of rock.

9
00:00:24,572 --> 00:00:26,030
We didn't know its

10
00:00:26,030 --> 00:00:28,097
significance at the time.

11
00:00:29,952 --> 00:00:32,460
(pensive piano music)

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,470
The only thing we knew, we had to win.

13
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:41,430
We had to take the island.

14
00:00:43,740 --> 00:00:45,759
(light pensive music)

15
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,980
To protect the very

16
00:01:09,105 --> 00:01:12,897
precious values that we have,

17
00:01:12,897 --> 00:01:15,337
that we live every day.

18
00:01:15,337 --> 00:01:17,165
You may take my life,

19
00:01:17,165 --> 00:01:19,319
but you cannot take

20
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,182
my freedom.

21
00:01:21,936 --> 00:01:24,116
(light pensive music)
