The 82-year-old man with the white hair and cane didn’t look much like a hero.

But, the students in Brooklyn Center who eagerly sought a former Marine’s autograph this Veteran’s Day knew differently.

For more than an hour Monday afternoon the students had listened to Charles W. Lindberg tell the stories of his tour of duty in World War II.

Lindberg, a Richfield resident, is the last surviving member of the first group of Marines to raise the United States flag on Mount Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima.
