This special Independence Day edition of the Sons of the Flag podcast features World War II Iwo Jima veteran Don Graves.

Originally from Detroit, Don quit high school to join the Marine Corps in 1942 when he was 17. As a flame thrower, he stormed the beaches of Iwo Jima and was one of 18 in his platoon who survived. Becoming a pastor later in life, Don now travels the country speaking to high schools about the importance of patriotism and singing “God Bless America.”
