At the Planes of Fame Museum, Chino , Airport.**6/9/19 our fellow World War II member of the B-17 Combat Crewmen and Wingmen’s organization, (B-17 CC&W) Barney Leone talked about his service aboard the USS Nemasket at Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Phillippine Islands, and Chiina. Yup; he was Navy.
Barney has been giving his war time experience presentation at schools.**The flag we are posing with was flying on the**USS Nemasket just a few hundred yards off the shore*of Iwo Jima when six US Marines raised a US Flag atop Mount Suribachi. That
moment*had such an impact on Barney he asked to be given Nemasket’s flag when it was later replaced.**He has held onto it dearly ever since.
