In this unforgettable chronicle of perhaps the most famous moment in American military history, James Bradley has captured the glory, the triumph, the heartbreak, and the legacy of the six men who raised the flag at Iwo Jima. Here is the true story behind the immortal photograph that has come to symbolize the courage and indomitable will of America.
In February 1945, American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo Jimaand into history. Through a hail of machine-gun and mortar fire that left the beaches strewn with comrades, they battled to the island's highest peak. And after climbing through a landscape of hell itself, they raised a flag.
Now the son of one of the flagraisers has written a powerful account of six very different young men who came together in a moment that will live forever.
To his family, John Bradley never spoke of the photograph or the war. But after his death at age seventy, his family discovered closed boxes of letters and photos. In Flags of Our Fathers, James Bradley draws on those documents to retrace the lives of his father and the men of Easy Company. Following these men's paths to Iwo Jima, James Bradley has written a classic story of the heroic battle for the Pacific's most crucial islandan island riddled with Japanese tunnels and 22,000 fanatic defenders who would fight to the last man.
But perhaps the most interesting part of the story is what happened after the victory. The men in the photothree were killed during the battlewere proclaimed heroes and flown home, to become reluctant symbols. For two of them, the adulation was shattering. Only James Bradley's father truly survived, displaying nocopy of the famous photograph in his home, telling his son only: "The real heroes of Iwo Jima were the guys who didn't come back."
Few books ever have captured the complexity and furor of war and its aftermath as well as Flags of Our Fathers. A penetrating, epic look at a generation at war, this is history told with keen insight, enormous honesty, and the passion of a son paying homage to his father. It is the story of the difference between truth and myth, the meaning of being a hero, and the essence of the human experience of war.

Chapter One
Sacred Ground
The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know --Harry Truman
In the spring of 1998 six boys called to me from half a century ago on a distant mountain, and I went there. For a few days I set aside my comfortable life--my business concerns, my life in Rye, New York--and made a pilgrimage to the other side of the world, to a tiny Japanese island in the Pacific Ocean called Iwo Jima.
There, waiting for me, was the mountain the boys had climbed in the midst of a terrible battle half a century earlier. The Japanese called the mountain Suribachi, and on its battle-scarred summit the boys raised an American flag to symbolize our country's conquest of that volcanic island, even though the fighting would rage for another month.
One of those flag raisers was my father.
The fate of the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries was being forged in blood on the island of Iwo Jima and others like it in the Pacific, as well as in North Africa, parts of Asia, and virtually all of Europe. The global conflict known as World War II had mostly teenagers as its soldiers--kids who had come of age in cultures that resembled those of the nineteenth century.
My father and his five comrades--they were either teenagers or in their early twenties--typified thesekids: tired, scared, determined, brave. Like hundreds of thousands of other young men from many countries, they were trying to do their patriotic duty and trying to survive.
But something unusual happened to these six: History turned all its focus, for 1/400th of a second, on them. It froze them in an elegant instant of one of the bloodiest battles of the twentieth century, if not in the history of warfare--froze them in a camera lens as they hoisted an American flag on a makeshift iron pole.
Their collective image became one of the most recognized and most reproduced in the history of photography. It gave them a kind of immortality--a faceless immortality. The flag raising on Iwo Jima became a symbol of the island, the mountain, the battle; of World War II; of the highest ideals of the nation; of valor itself. It became everything except the salvation of the boys who performed it.
For these six, history had a different, special destiny that no one could have predicted, least of all the flag raisers themselves.
My father, John Henry Bradley, returned home to small-town Wisconsin after the war. He shoved the mementos of his immortality into a few cardboard boxes and hid these in a closet. He married his childhood sweetheart. He opened a funeral home, fathered eight children, joined the PTA, the Lions, and the Elks--and shut out virtually any conversation on the topic of raising the flag on Iwo Jima.
When he died, in January 1994, in the town of his birth, he might have believed he was taking the story of his part in the flag raising with him to the grave, where he apparently felt it belonged. He had trained us, as children, to deflect the phone-call requests for media interviews that never diminished over the years. We were to tell the caller that our father was on a fishing trip, usually in Canada. But John Bradley never fished. No copy of the famous photograph hung in our house. When we did manage to extract from him a remark about the incident, his responses were short and simple, and he quickly changed the subject.
And this is how we Bradley children grew up: happily enough, deeply connected to our peaceful, tree-shaded town, but always with a sense of an unsolved mystery somewhere at the edges of the picture.
A middle child among the eight, I found the mystery tantalizing. I knew from an early age that my father had been some sort of hero. My third-grade schoolteacher said so; everybody said so. I hungered to know the heroic part of my dad. But try as I might, I could almost never get him to tell me about it.
John Bradley might have succeeded in taking his story to his grave had we not stumbled upon the cardboard boxes a few days after his death.
My mother and brothers Mark and Patrick were searching for my father's will in the apartment he had maintained as his private office. In a dark closet they discovered three heavy cardboard boxes. In those boxes my father had saved the many photos and documents that came his way as a flag raiser. All of us were surprised that he had saved anything at all.
Later I rummaged through the boxes. One letter caught my eye. The cancellation indicated it was mailed from Iwo Jima on February 26, 1945, written by my father to his folks just three days after the flag raising: "I'd give my left arm for a good shower and a clean shave, I have a 6 day beard. Haven't had any soap or water since I hit the beach. I never knew I could go without food, water or sleep for three days but I know now, it can be done."
And then, almost as an aside, he wrote: "You know all about our battle out here. I was with the victorious [Company E,] who reached the top of Mt. Suribachi first. I had a little to do with raising the American flag and it was the happiest moment of my life."
The "happiest moment" of his life? What a shock! If it made him so happy, why didn't he ever talk about it? Did something happen either on Iwo Jima or in the intervening years to cause his silence?
Over the next few weeks I found myself staring at the photo on my office wall, daydreaming. Who were those boys with their hands on that pole? Were they like my father? Had they known one another before that moment or were they strangers united by a common duty? Was the flag raising the "happiest moment" of each of their lives?
The quest to answer those questions consumed four years of my life and ended, symbolically, with my own pilgrimage to Iwo Jima.
Iwo Jima is a very small place to have hosted such a savage battle. Only eight square miles, the tiny island barely crests the seemingly infinite Pacific. The value of capturing this speck of land for the Americans was its location and its two airfields. The island provided a place for American planes to stop and refuel on crucial bombing missions to and from Japan.
Not many Americans make it to Iwo Jima these days. It is a dry wasteland of black volcanic ash that reeks of sulfur (the name means "sulfur island"). A closed Japanese naval base, it is inaccessible to civilians except for rare government-sanctioned visits.
It was the commandant of the Marine Corps, General Charles Krulak, who made the trip possible for me, my seventy-four-year-old mother, three of my brothers--Steve, Mark, and Joe--and many military men and women. One of first things we did on the island was to walk across the beach closest to Mount Suribachi, on the black volcanic sands. On their invasion maps the Marines had dubbed it "Green Beach," and it was across this killing field that young John Bradley, a Navy corpsman, raced under heavy fire. I watched as my mother made her way across that same beach, sinking to her ankles in the soft volcanic sand with each step. "I don't know how anyone survived!" she exclaimed.
Then it was time for our family to ascend the 550-foot volcanic crater that was Mount Suribachi. My twenty-one-year-old father had made the climb on foot carrying bandages and medical supplies; our party was whisked up in vans. I stood at its summit in a whipping wind that helped dry my tears. This was exactly where that American flag was raised on a February afternoon fifty-three years before. The wind had whipped on that day as well.
From the edge of the extinct volcanic crater, we could view the entire two-mile beach where the armada had discharged its boatloads of Marines. In February 1945 the Japanese could see it with equal clarity from the tunnels just beneath us. They waited patiently until the beach was crowded with American boys. They had spent many months positioning their gun sights. When the time came, they simply opened fire, beginning one of the great military slaughters of all history.
An oddly out-of-place feeling seized me: I was so glad to be there! The vista below us, despite the gory history, was invigorating. The sun and the wind seemed to bring all of us alive. At Suribachi you feel on top of the world, surrounded by ocean.
And then I realized that my high spirits were not so out of place at all. I was reliving something. I recalled the line from the letter my father wrote three days after the flag raising: "It was the happiest moment of my life."
We Bradleys then began to take pictures. We posed in various spots, including near the X that marks the spot of the actual raising. We had brought with us a plaque to personally commemorate the flag raising and our father's role in it. Joe gently placed the plaque in the dry soil.
I began to speak to the Marines who had gathered in front of our memorial.
I spoke first of the battle. It ground on over thirty-six days. It claimed 25,851 U.S. casualties, including nearly 7,000 dead. Most of the 22,000 defenders fought to their deaths.
It was America's most heroic battle. Two out of every three Americans who fought on this island were either killed or wounded. More medals for valor were awarded for action on Iwo Jima than in any battle in the history of the United States. To put that into perspective: The Marines were awarded eighty-four Medals of Honor in World War II. Over four years, that was twenty-two a year, about two a month. But in just one month of fighting on this island, they were awarded twenty-seven Medals of Honor, one-third of their accumulated total.
Next I showed the Marines the famous flag-raising photograph. I remarked that nearly everyone in the world recognizes it, but no one knows the boys.
I pointed to the figure in the middle of the image: solid, anchoring, with both hands clamped firmly on the rising pole. That's my father, I said. John Bradley was known to the other Marines in his company as "Doc" because he was a medical corpsman. He is the most identifiable of the six figures, the only one whose profile is visible.
I pointed next to a figure on the far side of John Bradley. Rene Gagnon, the handsome mill hand from New Hampshire, stood shoulder to shoulder with my dad in the photo, but he is mostly obscured by my father.
I gestured to the figure on the far right of the image, the leaning, thrusting soldier jamming the base of the pole into the hard Suribachi ground. His right shoulder is nearly level with his knee. His buttocks strain against his fatigues. This was Harlon Block, the athletic, independent-minded Texan. A star football player, he enlisted in the Marines along with all the seniors on his high school football team.
I pointed to the figure directly in back of my father: the boyish, freckle-faced Franklin Sousley, from Hilltop, Kentucky. He was fatherless at the age of nine and sailed for the Pacific on his nineteenth birthday.
Look closely at Franklin's hands, I asked the silent crowd in front of me. Do you see his right hand? Can you tell that the man in back of him has grasped Franklin's right hand and is helping Franklin push the heavy pole? The most boyish of the flag raisers, I said, is getting help from the most mature, Sergeant Mike Strank.
I pointed now to what can be seen of Mike. He is on the far side of Franklin. You can hardly see him. But his helping young Franklin was typical of him. He was respected as a great leader, a Marine's Marine. Finally I singled out the figure at the far left of the image--the figure stretching upward, his fingertips not quite reaching the pole. The Pima Indian from Arizona. Ira Hayes, I said. His hands couldn't quite grasp the pole.
Six boys. They form a representative picture of America in the thirties and forties: a mill worker from New England, a Kentucky tobacco farmer, a Pennsylvania coal miner's son, a Texan from the oil fields, a boy from Wisconsin's dairy land, and an Indian living on an Arizona reservation.
Only two of them walked off this island. A third was carried on a stretcher with shrapnel embedded in his side. Three were buried here.
Holy Land. Sacred ground.
All-American Boys
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys --Herman Melville
I'm not a professional researcher, but I figured that if I could somehow dig deep enough, I might be able to learn something about these six boys, and especially about my silent father. I could not do this task alone. I would need other people, relatives and comrades of these six figures, to help me.
I began my research by buying a book about Iwo Jima and reading it. Then another. And another. I have since lost count.
I found names in those books--the names of the boys shoving that flagpole aloft.
Back in my office, I started to trace them. I phoned city halls and sheriff's offices in the towns where the flag raisers were born and asked for leads that would put me in touch with their relatives. I dialed the numbers, then waited through the rings for that first "Hello?" from a widow, sister, or brother of one of the boys whose hands had gripped the iron pole on Suribachi.
I widened my phone searches to include living veterans of Iwo Jima. I wanted their memories, too. Eventually I began to travel to the places where these people lived.
I wanted to know them as Marines, as fighting men who were also comrades. But I also wanted to know them as boys, ordinary kids before they became warriors.
What I found was that these six boys were very different from one another: the whooping young Texas cowboy; the watchful Indian; the happy-go-lucky Kentucky hillbilly; the serious Wisconsin small-towner; the handsome New Hampshire mill worker; the sturdy Czech immigrant.
And yet so similar.
They were nearly all poor. The Great Depression was a thread that ran through their lives. But then so did football, and religious faith, and strong mothers. So did younger siblings, and the responsibility of caring for them. And nearly all were described again and again as quiet, shy boys, yet boys whom people cared about.

This book retells the renowned story of the six flag raisers on Iwo Jima. They were six simple American boys who were trying to make a difference by fighting in WWII to defend their homes. When the boys were young they didn't know each other, but when heat of war began on Iwo Jima, they soon became brothers for the rest of their lives. They all knew each other and tried to watch over each other during battle. Throughout the book, you learn about all of the challenges that they faced and how they overcame. They grew up apart, but they became one and went down in history together. Throughout this book there is a lot of heartache, but all of the soldiers learn to overcome this pain through unity. Every single soldier learns from day one that everything is about unity. Nothing works as well if it is just an individual. The best success comes from working together and trusting the ones around you. Without your team mates you might end up dead and everyone knew that their brothers needed help just as much as they did. They could always count on each other and always trusted one another. The part that I liked most about this book was the heroic tales. The story of the flag rising on Iwo is a very popular story, but a lot of times you do not hear about what went on before these six boys had the chance to raise this flag. This battle was all about who had more guts and who was willing to go the farthest and sacrifice the most to achieve their goal. Young American men would throw their bodies on live grenades just to save lives. They all knew that the death of one was much better than the loss of twenty. Every single American was fighting for the same things and knew that they would do what they had to do in order to win the war. One thing I didn't like about this book was it was so long. You can't really change that though because you need all that information to be able to know what's going on. I also liked how much detail James Bradley put into this book. I felt like I was there and watching it happen. I couldn't imagine what those soldiers went through when they got home. Seeing that many soldiers die would be traumatic. I thought it was amazing that he got all this information by going around the country looking for people who knew the six flag raisers and then writing a book about it. I believe that someone could easily pick this book up and start reading it because it tells the storey that we all know about, but not in great detail, which is where this novel comes in to fill the gaps. When looking for a book along the same lines as Flags of our Fathers you can pick up Flyboys also written by James Bradley. I would give the book an overall 4.5 stars out of 5 solely because it can get long and dry, but quickly then makes up for it by bringing you back into the heat of battle.
The memoir Flags of our Fathers, which spent 46 weeks on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list by James Bradley, was, in my opinion, a great book. It is not a regular memoir in, but it is a snapshot of an important part of the lives of the people involved. It was pieced together by the author using journals, diaries, pictures, records, and the accounts of eyewitnesses and family members. The Author is not actually part of the story, but the events and facts are true. The book was about the six flag raisers on Iwo-Jima made immortal by the famous photograph taken by Joe Rosenthal. The book tells the story of these inspirational men, and specifically John Bradley, the author's father. WWII was a war with many remarkable and savage battles, but few match the battle of Iwo-Jima. Iwo-Jima is an 8 square mile island controlled by Japan, when the U.S attacked, the Japanese fortified the island and swore not to give ground. The fighting conditions were terrible for the marines and morale was low, however, several U.S marines climbed mount Surabachi, a center point of Japanese resistance, and raised an American flag for all to see. The event was captured forever by Joe Rosenthal, who took a photo of the six men hoisting the flag together. The book tells the tale of each of these men's journey in the battle, as they experience the horrors of war in the pacific theater, the brutal part of WWII that took place in the sandy beaches and steaming jungles of the pacific islands, and how they deal with the brutality around them, as described by John Bradley talking about his friend, "The Japanese took him underground and tortured him.it something I've always tried to forget." Several of them simply could not deal with the sights they saw and the things they did, sinking into depression or become dependant on alcohol. Only one man lived a long, untroubled life, and that was by completely locking up the memories of that traumatic chapter of his life, never speaking of it or making public appearances after the war bond drives. This is part of the message of the book: War is a terrible thing, and it affects people very seriously. I would recommend this book to some seventh graders but not all due to the strong violent content.
Written by a son of one of the flagraisers and yet he did not glorify those 6. This book is true to the core. To all those who fight for our country, thank you for your bravery. Saepe Expertus. Semper Fidelis.
It was only a replacement flag, but became the flag in the most famous photograph in history. Flags of Our Fathers begins in 1998, when James Bradley, son of one of the flag-raisers, travels to Iwo Jima to post a memorial to his father, John Bradley. But where the story truly begins is on a cold February day in 1945. Two days after the Marines landed on Iwo Jima, one of the bloodiest battles of World War II, five Marines and one Navy Corpsman placed a replacement flag on top of Mt. Suribachi. The photographer, Joe Rosenthal, wasn't even sure he got the photograph. He wouldn't know for weeks because the film would need to be air-lifted to Hawaii for processing before it was sent back to the States. The photo itself was only of the replacement flag anyway. The commander of the Marine force had ordered the original flag replaced because the Secretary of the Navy wanted it. The commander felt it belonged to the Marines. What happened next would stun the flag-raisers who survived. Days later the photo would circulate the globe, announcing that the Marines had taken Iwo Jima even though the battle had barely begun. For a nation tired of war, this didn't matter. The photo gave them hope, a hope they desperately needed to continue the war. Only three of the flagraisers would survive the battle; three died within days of raising the new flag. Major Messages and Themes: It is also a very human story. It's a very personal story of how human beings learn to cope with the most horrific events imaginable. While one of these men seeks further fame for his role in the picture, the two remaining survivors struggle to return to "life as normal". Post Traumatic Stress Disorder wasn't a term these survivors knew. They struggled in silence to deal with horrors they couldn't understand. I liked the book in that it was a true story in what these men had to do for their country and how they had to go through all of the horrors that were on Iwo Jima, everyone who likes to learn about history or just want a good read should read this book to have a good reading experience. My overall rating i would say this book is a 9 out of 10.
This is US History at it's best. This book is about true American's are made of. Nuff said!
This book retells the renowned story of the six flag raisers on Iwo Jima. They were six simple American boys who were trying to make a difference by fighting in WWII to defend their homes. When the boys were young they didn't know each other, but when heat of war began on Iwo Jima, they soon became brothers for the rest of their lives.

Young American men would throw their bodies on live grenades just to save lives. They all knew that the death of one was much better than the loss of twenty. Every single American was fighting for the same things and knew that they would do what they had to do in order to win the war. They would not let anyone or anything stand in their way. Personally I loved the book, but I did have one dislike. At points, the book was hard to follow. It seemed to jump around a lot and it was hard to get a grasp on when what they were talking about happened. All of the events were very thought catching, but it could be hard to understand if you were to get lost. I think this book is be very educational. For someone that is not completely sure about what happened on Iwo Jima, this book could help clear up anything that you are confused about. The only reason someone might not want to read this book is because of some of the gruesome depictions. Another book that is good and very closely related to this book is "Letters from Iwo Jima". This book tells the same story, but it is from the Japanese point of view. Overall I would give Flags of our Fathers a five star rating for its excellent ability to keep the reader interested.
This story brings to life the truth of the flagraising on Iwo Jima. It tells the struggles of the six young men who were captured in a moment in time. How thier lifes seemed to be under the rule of this image that was sadly mistaken by the people of America. It shows how an action can be totally miscontrued by the viewers. Iliked this book because it shows the real stuggles of real people.
Having been born and raised in Wausau, Wisconsin I never knew we had such an outstanding man such as John Bradely living here. The book is not just about his life, the battle, and the aftermath but of a son's discovery of his father who he always saw as a great man. I would say this is a MUST READING for any one in Wisconsin. I can't begin to tell you how it has affected my life and outlook at the war in the pacific. And I also love historical movies/books.
This is the BEST book I've ever read on the Pacific War, and one of the best about WWII (and I have read a LOT of them). It deserves 10 stars! My dad knew & worked with another hero of Iwo Jima: Hershel "Woody" Williams, the last living Medal of Honor winner from that battle. I met him a couple of times. Just like the men portrayed in this book, he was unassuming & respectful. Recently he spoke to a group of soldiers shipping out for Afghanistan. At one point he said, "I look forward to the day when a Medal of Honor will no longer be needed".
James Bradley's, book Flags Of Our Fathers depicts six men who put up the American Flag on Iwo Jima and the significance of this event. Bradley assesses who these men were before the war, during the war, after the war, and how the photo of them (on the cover of the book) putting up the flag affected their lives. Bradley develops a candid tone with his readers to capture who the men were; he almost makes you feel as if you were there with these men. Bradley begins his book by going on a hunch and trying to figure out who these men were, including his dad, depicted in the photograph. After, rummaging through his dad boxes, Bradley finds a letter his dad, John "Doc" Bradley, wrote to his parents from Iwo Jima. Upon, reading this letter Bradley discovers that his father's most joyous moment was when he had finally reached the top of the mountain. Bradley was in a shock because his father would never talk about Iwo Jima after he came back from the war. Bradley then starts wondering who the rest of the boys captured in the photo with his dad were. Bradley goes on a quest for four years to find out who these men were, before they were all set upon the horrendous journey of war. Bradley provides the reader with anecdotes of who they are and how they became who they are. Bradley's purpose is to outline the idea that war affects everyone, from the men in it, to all the families, and the kids. It shows how John (the author's father) never liked to talk about Iwo Jima because he claims that the real heroes stayed at Iwo Jima. And how Ira Hayes could never get a grip on life after the war and suffered from Post-traumatic stress syndrome. Or how 3 of the 6 boys died along with 26,000 Americans and 21,000 Japanese. By the end of the book you'll fall in love with all 6 of the boys who helped raised the flag on Iwo Jima. You'll feel like you were with them on the day they all landed on the beach. And you'll feel like a part of you dies. When Franklin, Mike and Harlon all die on the beach.
"It's funny what a picture can do." - Ira Hayes What happens when a man refuses to talk about his experiences in war? Well, it can lead those around him to seek out what happened by other means. Men who saw the unbridled horror of man's inhumanity to man can be excused for not wishing to discuss what they've experienced. However, those who love him want to know what his life in war was like, however brief the look. James Bradley (along with Ron Powers) has crafted a book that takes a look his father's experiences as one of the flag raisers on Mount Suribachi during the battle of Iwo Jima. Along the way, we meet the other flag raisers - Ira Hayes, Rene Gagnon, Harlon Block, Franklin Sousley and Mike Strank. We meet them as they grow up from the veritable slices of Americana through the war and afterwards, as the battle affected the remaining survivors. "Doc" Bradley was the last surviving flag raiser, dying in January 1994. At the beginning, the book takes on all the appearances of being a vanity project on the part of the author, discussing he and his family's discovery of his heretofore unknown Navy Cross medal. This leads the family to eventually end up on Iwo Jima and standing on Mount Suribachi and the laying of a monument on the site. Such a story would best be reserved for an afterward as it does not immediately bring the reader into the story and only reinforces to the reader that we are reading someone's therapy sessions in trying to understand their father and what he meant to them. After a desultory exposition about the Japanese culture and society during the 1920s and 1930s, the author finally hit his stride and the book manages to soar as storytelling. We finally see each flag raiser as he grows up and makes the decision to fight for his country. The stories of each member are deep and provide the color necessary to show them as real people, and not the props they ended up being, especially during the Seventh War Bond drive. There are considerable words expended describing their training both in California and Hawaii in preparation for the invasion of "Island X". The many months of training served them well in the meat grinder of Iwo Jima. The force that landed there was fighting a Japanese army it could not see but was molded (in the perversion of the Bushido samurai ethic) into a soldier that would rather die at his own hand than surrender. These words are vital to understanding what was necessary for the American Marines to succeed, and what success meant in the larger scope of World War II. In the end, the flag raising itself as depicted by history is actually a second flag raising. Due to the desire of a colonel to see a bigger flag on Mount Suribachi, a slightly different cast of characters lifted the larger flag into position. This second raising caused no end of controversy and confusion among the Marines, the photographer, and a government looking for a symbol of hope among the carnage of Iwo Jima. After the war, Gagnon, Bradley and Hayes are recruited to work a bond tour and to lend "technical assistance" to the movie "The Sands of Iwo Jima" starring John Wayne. The three survivors attempt to carry on as best they could. Sadly, PTSD was not known in those days otherwise Ira Hayes would not have (hopefully) developed the drinking problem that led to his death. Gagnon - the youngest of the three and married to a gold-digging woman - always felt his fame would be his ticket out of the New Hampshire mills and into the life of luxury. And yet, John Bradley went and got his license in mortuary science, bought a funeral home, raised a family and went back to being Joe Everyman. PARENTAL NOTE: This book does describe war without varnish, as well as the torture and killing of Bradley's friend Ralph Ignatowski. For this reason, I would at least skim over the book before giving it to anyone under 16 to read. BOTTOM LINE: This book takes you everywhere you need to go to understand the battle of Iwo Jima.
At first when I started reading Flags of our Fathers, it was somewhat difficult to get attached to the story line. However once I started learning about the real men behind the faces in the photograph, I really enjoyed it. Some parts in the book were complicated to follow considering that the book is about six different men, and you have to figure out how to keep track of all six of them. In addition, since this story is about war and battles, I had trouble keeping track of all of the captains, colonels, sergeants, lieutenants, etc. I am personally not acquainted with these different titles as much, so it most likely depends on the level of interest and knowledge a reader has in that field.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in history, particularly World War II. Even though this book has some blood and gore, I think it is definitely worth the read. I would not necessarily recommend it to anyone below the eighth grade, just from the fact that it might be difficult for someone below that age to read and understand. I also wouldn't recommend it to a person below that age because the violence might be a little overwhelming. I think this would be an appropriate book for high school students because it is very applicable to what we learn in world history. For example, just this past unit in history we learned about World War II, including the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Guadalcanal, and The Battle of Iwo Jima. All of these events were mentioned, and The Battle of Iwo Jima provided the setting for Flags of our Fathers. I know some students would be resistant to reading a book required for school, however high school students that do have an interest in history and World War II would really enjoy it. Although, when reading this book you have to be very diligent and pay close attention to details in order to follow the story line. Overall, I found Flags of our Fathers to be a very interesting and enjoyable book. Despite the fact that it does have its flaws, as every book does, I thought it was well written and James Bradley accomplished his goal. The six boys in this photograph are now known and "alive" to me. After reading this book I now have an even stronger respect for all of the men and women that serve our country and sacrifice their lives for our freedom. Abbie M.
Got it for my husband for Christmas. He reads when he can & says so far he likes it. Can't wait for him to finish so I can check it out.
Full of drama and facts. All americans should read
I am a wwll vet readlng many war books this is a great one
Flags of our Fathers was well written, James a and Ron, nailed it.

Nick Clegg confirmed yesterday that he begged Gordon Brown to stay in Downing Street a little longer while he sewed up a coalition deal with David Cameron.
Asked about the incident, Mr Clegg at first replied that his memory was "a bit blurred" – then blamed Mr Brown for springing the resignation on him "very abruptly" and "out of the blue".
Aides who assembled in Downing Street to say farewell on Mr Brown's last day listened in astonishment as he had a series of telephone calls with Mr Clegg, who kept trying to get him to delay the decision to quit. Eventually, an exasperated Mr Brown told him: "Nick, Nick, I can't hold on any longer. I've got to go to the Palace. The country expects me to do that. I can't hold on any longer. Whatever happens, I'm going to the Palace."
Mr Clegg told the BBC yesterday: "Creating a coalition in a political culture such as ours, which isn't used to coalition, is very unusual. We were doing it in an extraordinarily compressed timetable.
"In most other countries where they negotiate coalitions, they take months to do it. We were doing it in a matter of hours and days when everyone was pretty tired after the election campaign. So suddenly to be told out of the blue the Prime Minister was going to march off and say, 'I'm fed up with this. I'm going to throw the towel in and march off into the distant horizon' – I thought was not the right way of going about things."
He added: "Gordon Brown just very abruptly, suddenly said: 'I'm off, I'm off, I'm off'."
The suggestion that Mr Brown resigned "out of the blue" contrasts with what Mr Clegg said during the election campaign, when he insisted that if there was a hung parliament, he would seek an agreement with whichever party had the most votes and most MPs. He added scathingly: "It would be preposterous for Gordon Brown to end up like some squatter in No 10."
Mr Clegg's admission will reinforce suspicions in Labour circles that he was using them to wring as many concessions as he could out of Mr Cameron. Andrew Adonis, who was part of Labour's negotiating team in the talks that preceded the creation of a coalition Government, has since alleged that the Liberal Democrats were not seriously negotiating with Labour, but were only pretending to, to give them leverage in their talks with the Conservatives. But Mr Clegg said it was impossible to deal with Labour after two former home secretaries, David Blunkett and John Reid, had publicly called on Mr Brown to resign.
"You can't negotiate with an internally divided party – particularly not with a party which wouldn't have carried the legitimacy of the election with it into government," he said.

Top 10 U.S. Cities with the Most Green Buildings
Every decently sized company with a PR team can claim to be going green these days. But how do you separate those who simply hang out an Earth Flag once a year to those who make real commitments in their daily activities? One good way is by looking at their physical facilities, since commercial and industrial buildings in the U.S. are responsible for about 45% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions and 50% of energy use.
America's 4.8 million commercial buildings and 350,000 industrial facilities expend $107.9 billion and $94.4 billion a year on energy costs, according to the EPA's Energy Star program. Yet an estimated 30% of that cost – enormous as it is – is actually wasted due to inefficient technologies. What's more, according to Energy Star, if the energy efficiency of our commercial and industrial buildings was boosted by an attainable 10% across the board, that would result in reduction of greenhouse gases equivalent to taking 30 million vehicles off our roads (or about as many cars and trucks as are registered in Illinois, New York, Texas and Ohio combined).
How do you make sure a green building is really greener? One convenient way is third party certification. The gold standard has been the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program from the U.S. Green Building Council. Another one increasingly gaining familiarity is the EPA's Energy Star label program, which was extended from appliances and electronics to whole structures fairly recently.
According to the EPA, the number of Energy Star-qualified buildings across the U.S. has soared by more than 130% from 2007. What does that really mean? Energy Star buildings use 35% less energy than average buildings and emit 35% less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Of course, it is important to remember that energy use and emissions are not the only factors to consider when asking if a building is green. There are also issues of indoor air quality, water conservation, recycled content, habitat protection, access to transportation, support for bicycles and hybrid vehicles, and impact on local wildlife (no glass walls of death!). Still, energy use is a major consideration.
In 2008, more than 3,300 commercial buildings and manufacturing plants earned Energy Star. These structures saved more than $1.1 billion in energy costs and reduced more than 7 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2008 — equal to the emissions created in powering more than 1 million homes for a year. There are now more than 6,200 Energy Star-qualified buildings and plants throughout the U.S., which have saved $1.7 billion in energy costs and reduced more than 13 million metric tons in greenhouse gas emissions annually, equivalent to the emissions associated with the electricity use of more than 1.8 million homes a year.
The top ten city rankings based on the number of Energy Star-qualified buildings in 2008 are:
1) Los Angeles, CA
2) San Francisco, CA
3) Houston, TX
4) Washington D.C.
5) Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
6) Chicago, IL
7) Denver, CO
8) Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN
9) Atlanta, GA
10) Seattle, WA
As expected, the trends roughly follow population patterns, since this list made no attempt to measure per capita listings. However, it is still instructive. For one thing, where is New York? It's no surprise perhaps that California is well represented, but it may be news to some that Texas towns rate so highly — particularly Houston, the seat of the oil industry. Northerners aren't doing as well as some might think, especially major cities like Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore.
Perhaps no one is surprised that Detroit isn't a big winner, given the region's continual decline, and high anxiety in the auto industry (though efficiency is a good way to reduce costs, and save money and jobs, over time).
For comparison's sake, here's a list of U.S. cities purely by population size, as found on wikipedia:
1) New York City, New York 8,274,527
2) Los Angeles, California 3,834,340
3) Chicago, Illinois 2,836,658
4) Houston, Texas 2,208,180
5) Phoenix, Arizona 1,552,259
6) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 1,449,634
7) San Antonio, Texas 1,328,984
8) San Diego, California 1,266,731
9) Dallas, Texas 1,240,499
10) San Jose, California 939,899

One of the worlds greatest wells of business wisdom, Roy H Williams, shares a theme I (Kevin) have been hearing a lot about lately. How those who come from hardship, generally outshine those we would normally deem "more fortunate". But after hearing his testimony, I think you'll begin to question what truly is a better fortune; trial or ease. But what if you have had it relatively easy? What do you do? Listen in…

Brooks Laich is right to be angry. His team has lost four of its last six games when it should be building momentum for the post-season. But I have to respectfully disagree with his argument; the Washington Capitals are indeed coasting.
In the first period of their last two games, the Capitals have mustered only four shots on goal. This statistic is compelling evidence that the team is not focused on the games in front of them. If someone says that the team is "sailing through to the postseason", that's what they're talking about. When the boys start climbing out of the two- or three- goal holes they dig themselves, they play like heroes again. That's great, but why are they floundering in the first period at all?

Different Facebook Hack Methods Used by Most Hackers
Facebook is certainly the most widely used social media platform nowadays. People can freely post their own status, photos, and personal data on Facebook anytime, whether for public viewing or not. However, personal data could become a resource for hackers to do facebook hacking. There are different reasons why people hack facebook accounts ranging from simple to critical ones. This article will help you to efficiently hack facebook to obtain whatever intention you may have.
You can hack a facebook account using the following methods:
Using this method, many hackers ended up successful. Here, you will have to make a fake log-in page to rob password and other details from the facebook user. You may ask a person who can do this for you. After such, let the owner of the facebook account you want to hack to log in using the fake page. After you got the account information, you are now able to access the account you hacked. Alternatively, opting for facebook hack will help you assure a very effective result.
This is one other technique utilized by most hackers to do some facebook hack. However, this method cannot be quickly done that is why some hackers do not prefer to use it. Before you can successfully utilize the technique, you need to download first a hacking tool then create a keylogger to connect to the victims account. There are instances in which the technique causes danger due to the presence of spyware. Even though this runs a long process, you can make the process simple if you will utilize the computer utilized by the victim. With the keylogger, the keystrokes done by the victim will be recorded giving the hacker a greater chance to know the email and password of the victim.
Social Engineering
This is a simple technique utilized by most people who don't have any idea about hacking or facebrute, yet willing to use other people's facebook accounts. This technique needs you to be more patient in guessing account's password. You can try to log in by utilizing various passwords in each try, which is just possible if you already know the email. You have to learn some clues which can help you determine the password of a facebook account.
You can try entering the user's phone number as password. If you know well the account's user, this may be achievable. Accessing the account by typing in the user's name or maybe the girlfriend or boyfriend's name for the password is also a great option. Some also, mix names. Next thing to try is the owner's birthday. The fourth will work for those hackers who know their victims personally since they will have to know things like the victim's beloved cartoon character, actress, or actors. Fifth, use 1,2,3, !, #, or any number and symbol because most users have passwords containing symbols and numbers. However, you have to allocate more time if you want to do this method.
Those are only some of the facebook hack methods utilized by most hackers. Try to have access to different facebook accounts now with these easy techniques. Facebrute

If I could arrange it, I would slip a fortune into UHF singer Jeremy Leff's next fortune cookie which would read, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Perhaps he wouldn't instantly know what the fortune was getting at, but any listener of this fourth album from the Portland, Oregon natives would. Leff has a wonderful voice for psychedelic music: he has perfected the breathy, golden acid-drop whisper and the honey-slow chorus drone. Songs such as album opener "Disconnect", "Rules of the Game", and "The Behemoth" can instantly pull a willing listener into a world of glistening kaleidescope dreams. And, while there is nothing wrong with attempting something different, the problem is album tracks such as "The Behemoth" are hard to reach when faced with the juggernauts of "Battery" and "Revolving Door".
"Battery" begins deceptively well…then Leff begins singing. Instantly, the song becomes choked in a sea of attempted machismo for which, frankly, the only word is "embarrassing." Imagine a mediocre '90s alternative voice over somewhat droney West-Coast pop. It just doesn't work, and it's baffling when a talented and experienced singer such as Leff can go so far astray. But just to prove this reviewer wrong, the vocals are also the problem on following track "Revolving Door". While the sound doesn't stray far from the band's typical psychedelic feel, there is a razor-edge sharpness here which fits the unfortunate "dead inside" lyrics, but once again doesn't align itself with the glossy ocean spray of the rest of UHF's album. Actually, unfortunate lyrics surface frequently throughout the album, and with any other band, these iffy lines would be laughable and not much else; here, however, the worst lyrics are also proof of how tight this band actually is. During the best moments of All Our Golden Tomorrows, the words are virtually unnoticeable, because Leff's voice is too busy combining with his fellow bandmates' instruments to create a beautiful golden-purple synthesis.
The easiest thing to do with an album which contradicts itself, as this one does, is to merely label it as a "transition album" and wait for a more solid release from the band. Yet there are lovely tracks to be found here, songs which any pop music fan with retro sensibilities can enjoy. My advice to you, dear reader, is to attain a copy of the record and program out tracks two and three. While this will undoubtedly make the album far less eclectic than it was in its original condition, it will also make it far less frustrating.

The Feelfree Lure Rudder Kit is a SmartTrack Rudder Kit designed for the Feelfree Lure 11.5 and 13.5 kayaks. It combines fixed foot pegs with movable rudder pedals to give you more control and better performance when paddling your kayak. The rudder housing has a pin that installs through a vertical hole on the stern of the kayak and secures with a split ring. This kit includes toe controls that install on your existing foot pedals, so you don't have to remove your rails. Rudder kit will NOT fit the Lure 10.
|Item #:
Got my rudder kit for lure 11.5 , good price & fast shipping. But ack needs to update their youtube video & install instructions. Plus what`s those black rubber rectangle things for? Had to use pop rivets for uphaul cleat & feelfree must have discontinued a cable uphaul system as I just got a pad eye and paracord for that. Other than taking longer to install, I`m happy !!!
Although I have used rudders on other kayaks, this kit was not installer friendly, the peddle / toe control did not align with factory installed nuts nor mount correctly to the lure 11.5 properly. and the hardware sent for the rudder lift tie down were machine screws that you connot access the thread from the inside to install the nuts. Disappointed in the installation kit for the rudder and the price.
Good Product, Easy installation once you figure out how to install. The negative is there are no written instructions or diagram. You have to watch a youtube video over and over to see exactly how to install. Five stars if they included a printed diagram. ACK was a great company to do business with. Fast and accurate shipping.
I bought the rudder based on other Lure owners recommendations and I'm glad I did. I had just recently bought a like new but used 13.5 and installed the rudder before I had a chance to actually use the kayak. I fished a tournament a few days later. It was a very windy day, even for Kansas, and I could definitely tell the difference between my rudderless Ascend FS128t and the Lure. It tracked a lot straighter and made sharper turns and I was able to maintain a heading with a lot less effort. I watched the video a couple of times and the installation went well until it was time to install the cord for lifting and lowering the rudder. That turned out to be a bit of a struggle. After trying the first two suggestions unsuccessfully, I resorted to using the wire method. I used aluminum electric fence wire because it's what I had on hand. If I had to do it again, I would make the trip to the hardware store and buy a thinner diameter galvanized wire. I think it would have made the job easier. Overall, I think the rudder will be a good investment even if it's a bit pricey.

Hebrews 5:11-6:8New King James Version (NKJV)
11 of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
Spiritual Immaturity
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
The Peril of Not Progressing
6 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this we will[a] do if God permits.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away,[b] to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; 8 but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

Moderate cleric Hassan Rouhani unofficially became President of Iran today after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei endorsed him, state media reported.
Khamenei kissed Rouhani on the cheek and the new president kissed the leader on his lapel during a ceremony in Tehran.
The start of Rouhani's presidency brings an end to Ahmadinejad's eight years in office during which Iran grew more isolated and came under wide-ranging United Nations, US and European Union sanctions over its nuclear programme, putting enormous pressure on the economy.
Rouhani's resounding election win in June has increased hopes of a negotiated end to the dispute over Iran's nuclear programme, which could avert a potential new war in the Middle East.
Rouhani will face huge tasks in office, including combating inflation he put last month at 42 percent, reducing high levels of unemployment and bridging the political divisions between conservative, moderate and reformist factions.
When he registered for the 2013 presidential election, he pledged to prepare a civil rights charter, restore the economy and repair relations with the West.
But his first challenge will be persuading parliament to approve the candidates he has chosen for cabinet positions, which he is expected to introduce on Sunday during his public inauguration.
"Rouhani will certainly appoint more competent men and women to key economic ministries and institutions. He will also follow saner economic policies," said Shaul Bakhash, an Iran historian at George Mason University in Virginia.
"But the economic problems are staggering ... Above all, without a serious easing of sanctions, it is difficult to see how Rouhani can get the economy moving again."

Hypothyroidism is another disease on the rise in America, with more than 5 million people experiencing problems due to irregular levels in their thyroid glands. Though the butterfly-shaped neck gland is only 12-15 millimeters in average length, the thyroid produces powerful metabolism-regulating hormones that, when lowered, can cause weight gain, depression, fatigue, memory loss, chronic pain, hair loss, brain fog and anxiety. Learn about chronic stress, the symptoms of adrenal fatigue and how to recover. People who have stomach stapling or other form of weight-loss surgery are also more likely to be low in vitamin B12 because the operation interferes with the body's ability to extract vitamin B12 from food. Does Vit B12 have any role in my hair troubles?
Low levels of vitamin B12 can cause fatigue, weakness, memory loss and other problems related to the nervous system. Strict vegetarians are at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency. But if you want to know about real bone-crunching fatigue, the kind that chains you to your bed, ask someone with a thyroid disorder. I read a list of the possible symptoms — exhaustion, depression, constipation, hair loss, and heavy periods, among others — and all the pieces began to fall into place. A few years ago, she noticed that her hands and feet were always cold, her hair was falling out, and her memory was increasingly iffy. Some symptoms of Estrogen deficiency are: Hot flashes, night sweats, lethargy, fatigue, memory loss, loss of libido, vaginal dryness, recurrent UTI's, irritability, anxiety, headaches, joint stiffness, weight gain, thin hair and skin aging. Symptoms of low thyroid function are: Fatigue, constipation, hair thinning, dry skin, weight gain, cold hands and feet, depression, slowed sensory reactions, menstrual irregularities, muscle cramps, puffy face and hands and fertility problems.
Cold, Tired, Weight Gain, Hair Loss? Your Thyroid May Be Culprit

Vitamin B-6: Anemia, seizures, headaches, nausea, dry and flaky skin, sore tongue, cracks on mouth, acne, anorexia, arthritis, conjunctivitis, depression, dizziness, fatigue, hyperirritability, slow healing processes, poor memory, learning disabilities, hair loss, hearing problems, oily facial skin and carpal tunnel. Fatigue in menopause is caused by hormonal changes; hormones such as estrogen regulate energy use at a cellular level, so when hormone levels drops during menopause, so too do energy levels. Hair loss, one of the most physically noticeable menopause symptoms, is caused by estrogen deficiency, because hair follicles need estrogen to sustain hair growth. However, these memory lapses are a normal symptom of menopause, associated with low levels of estrogen and with high stress levels. In men estrogen produces chest and facial hair growth; muscle development; On the other hand, optimal levels of testosterone improves bone density, builds lean muscle mass, helps people lose weight, increases libido, reduce hot flashes and night sweats and improves memory and cognitive function.

The piece of code that could make or break a mobile advertising program
February 25, 2016
Mitchell Reichgut is CEO of Jun Group
In case you have not heard, mobile application consumption is skyrocketing. We are spending two out of every three digital media minutes on mobile, and 86 percent of that is spent in-app, according to market researcher comScore.
With the average adult consuming nearly six hours of digital media each day, according to eMarketer, that means we are spending more than 200 minutes in-app daily. In other words, it is a massive audience that is growing all the time.
But in-app advertising is tough work.
Code language
Each mobile consumer has a different online personality: a distinct device, operating system and service provider. Your mobile ad must adapt on the fly to run across tens of millions of individual consumer profiles.
This is why you keep hearing about a certain ad-tech acronym: SDK (software development kit). It is a tiny piece of code when done right that rapidly assesses each consumer and serves a mobile ad at the correct dimension, size and speed.
While an SDK may seem like an insignificant widget many come in at less than a megabyte it acts as a vital organ for in-app advertising, determining the quality of how mobile video ads are delivered and, ultimately, perceived by audiences.
And, like any other ad tech product, not all SDKs are created equal.
The right SDK gives you unfiltered access to millions of consumers.
In a cookieless mobile world, it enables first-party targeting, multiple interactive functions and unprecedented data collection.
Low-quality SDKs, on the other hand, load ads slowly and serve choppy videos, with the sound and visuals misaligned.
Given the intimacy of the mobile screen, slow and poor user experiences are not tolerated and reflect negatively on the advertiser.
To present an advertisers message in the best light, the right technology is essential.
How to evaluate an SDK
Here are a few questions that you should ask to help determine if your advertising partner has high-quality SDK technology.
Can you provide third-party ad verification (e.g. MOAT)? The right partner will have objective third-party verification built into the SDK technology.
What targeting capabilities do you have? SDKs extract data from each device, enabling the collection of rich first-party survey data. This information gives brands high visibility into audience characteristics and the ability to target and engage in unprecedented ways.
Do you pre-cache video ads? When an SDK pre-loads ad content on a users mobile device, videos play instantly and with crystal clarity, regardless of connection strength or device type.
Does it provide post-view interactivity? Can users tap to follow you on Twitter, view your mobile Web page or sign up for a newsletter? The right SDK will give users the opportunity to interact further with the brand after the video view.

"another great story"
loved this although it seemed a bit short. a very well read story. liked the Clint Eastwood version of the jack voice
"No flavour"
I was looking forward to the next Reacher novel.. this fell very short. didn't seem to have the character depth or any intriguing story.. like a forgettable tv episode compared to the others bring box office movies. Then it was suddenly over.

Air Force Suicide Rate Hits 17-Year High
Sunday, December 26, 2010
Like other branches of the military, the U.S. Air Force is struggling with increased numbers of suicides. With less than two weeks remaining in 2010, the Air Force reported 54 suicides this year, the highest total since 1993. It is the leading cause of death in the service, which witnessed 41 airmen take their lives in 2009.
Suicides also have plagued the U.S. Army and the Marines Corps, which have reported mixed results in helping personnel avoid killing themselves. In the Army, suicides dropped from 162 in 2009 to 144 this year. But June was a terrible month for the Army, along with the National Guard and Army Reserves, which averaged a suicide a day.
The Marines also experienced a drop in suicide totals from last year to this year (from 52 to 46). But the Corps has had the highest suicide rate of any military branch, climbing to 24 per 100,000 individuals, after being less than 13 only four years ago.

Washington Capitals video coach Brett Leonhardt was forced to pull double duty tonight after Michal Neuvirth injured his right leg during pre-game warm-ups. Leonhardt was the emergency back-up for Braden Holtby tonight. It's the second time in his career he's suited up for a game.
You'd think with all that extra responsibility Stretch might be given a break with his video work. Hell naw. Above, watch as Leonhardt clips up some plays in his full goalie gear. Yes, this is an amazing photo. Bravo, Caps PR for supplying us with this.
Photo credit: @CAPLDY
This should be his hockey card picture
This should be his hockey card picture lol
Sorry double comment.
Is it too early to get a Leonhardt jersey?
Not exactly Casual Friday is it?
Those skates are going to tear up the office carpet.
Not according to like 10 other people around DC wearing jerseys from his last appearance. #80, I think?
You're exactly right. Theres a STH in 417ish that wears his Jersey every night
Was not aware that a coach suit up? How does that work with salary cap, active roster, IR etc…?
Does that mean Oates could suit up? Kolzig?
So confused.
I thought Neuvy disappeared during warm-ups last night and wondered what happened.
Honestly that's a good question. I didn't know there were coach-players.
As a result, the Capitals were forced to dress three goaltenders,
signing Leonhardt, the team's website producer, to an amateur tryout
contract before the game to back up Brent Johnson until the arrival of Varlamov.[3] Because of his experience in NCAA Division III ice hockey with the State University of New York at Oswego and Neumann College,
as well as the Kitchener Dutchmen of the GOJHL, Leonhardt had
previously participated in on-ice practice sessions with the Capitals,
filling in when an additional goaltender was needed.[4][5] Varlamov arrived 9:03 into the first period and replaced Leonhardt as Johnson's backup for the remainder of the game.[6] Had Leonhardt played in the game, he would have tied Ben Bishop as the tallest goalie in NHL history.[4] He did not receive any pay for his contract
