...Americans and all but 212 of the 22,000 Japanese defenders died there in 1945. Midway through their fight, on Mount Suribachi, the straining Marines raised the U.S. flag in a scene captured for posterity in a famous photograph.

On leaving the mission, the Reds kidnaped another American nurse, Miss Betty Olsen, 32, and Henry Blood of Portland, Ore., a member of the Wycliffe Bible Translators...
