Iwo Jima flag on display in Sparks, Nevada.

 

I'm at the TA truck stop in Sparks, Nevada, formerly Sierra Sids.  This flag has been on display here for many years. It no longer has the card explaining that it was taken off the body of a dead Marine on Iwo Jima.  You may be able to see the stains on the flag, actually blood from the fallen Marine.
