Battle of Iwo Jima commemorated at the Dietrich Theater On Tuesday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m., The Wyoming County Cultural Center/Dietrich Theater in down- town Tunkhannock will present “A War in Letters,” a personal correspondence of a U.S. marine who fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima, shared by his daughter, Marybeth Voda, a Wyalusing resident. Ms. Voda will also share the correspondence of a Japanese general, who fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima, to his wife. Separated by culture and ideology, their parallel stories have amazing similarities. Sixty years ago, one of the greatest amphibious assaults in history, the battle of Iwo Jima, was fought. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, commander-in- chief Pacific, gave his own personal tribute to those who fought there when he said, “Among the Americans who served on Iwo Island, uncommon valor was a common virtue.” Almost 7,000 Americans were killed in action at Iwo Jima among more than 20,000 American casu- alties. The invasion of Iwo Jima island located 660 miles south of Tokyo, occurred from Feb. 19 through most of March, 1945. Iwo Jima was strate- gically important as an air base for fighter escorts supporting long-range bombing missions against mainland Japan. So fierce was the battle that more U.S. Marines earned the Congressional Medal of Honor, our country’s highest award for valor, on Iwo Jima than in any other battle in American history. Information is available at 996-1500. Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for students. Veterans may attend free as special and honored guests of the Wyoming County Cultural Center/Dietrich Theater.
