00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,260
- [Hershel "Woody" Williams] Thousands 
of Marines and Navy

2
00:00:03,260 --> 00:00:06,520
Corpsmen were lying their life on the

3
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:10,050
line to capture a very small piece of

4
00:00:10,050 --> 00:00:14,020
ground that we now know as Iwo Jima.

5
00:00:14,030 --> 00:00:16,950
Most of us who were involved wondered

6
00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:20,360
why so many Marines were there to

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,650
capture this very small piece of

8
00:00:23,740 --> 00:00:27,090
rock. We didn't know its significance

9
00:00:27,090 --> 00:00:28,990
at the time.

10
00:00:29,952 --> 00:00:32,460
(pensive piano music)

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,470
The only thing we knew, we had to win.

12
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:41,430
We had to take the island.

13
00:00:43,740 --> 00:00:45,759
(light pensive music)

14
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,950
To protect the very precious

15
00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:13,620
values that we have, that we

16
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:17,210
live every day. You may take my life,

17
00:01:17,220 --> 00:01:20,760
but you cannot take my freedom.

18
00:01:21,936 --> 00:01:24,116
(light pensive music)
