For the past five years I have put a flower on the Dayton, Ohio grave marker of Tony Stein, 5th Marine MOH recipient on Iwo Jima. Cpl. Stein grew up in my Mom's neighborhood. He was killed in action this date 3-1-'45. One of my students, who served in the Second Marine Division, wrote a note which I placed on the bronze marker thanking Cpl. Stein for his sacrifice.

I should mention I also place a flower on the grave of John H. Hubacher, Sterling, Ohio, who was also KIA on this date on Iwo Jima. I do not know in which division he served.

Thanks for remembering. The MOH website lists graves by city and state. I encourage everyone to check it out and see if there is someone nearby. If there is, take a few moments and stop by and clean the marker a bit. It is the least we can do.
