80TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE FOR IWO JIMA

Iwo Jima Association of America (IJAA) is hosting the Commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle for Iwo Jima and has invited all surviving Iwo Jima Veterans…and you!  This evening’s purpose is to honor the sacrifices and celebrate the heroism these Marines made so many years ago. 

Be among some amazing men who fought – still the bloodiest battle in our nation’s history – and changed the world!  Radio King Orchestra  is dedicated to showing these Marines of The Greatest Generation and their families just how much we appreciate their sacrifice and service.

Enjoy a cocktail reception, music by “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band, a nice dinner and then music and entertainment for you to dance the night away compliments of Radio King Orchestra.  At least 5 of these brave Marines from the battle of Iwo Jima, will be there!  We only have so much time left to thank them personally, for their incredible service to our country…and maybe even steal a dance or two with these beloved Veterans!  They may be a little slower now but they still have those moves on that dance floor!!  We hope you will join us.
