    Thank you for posting &quot;No AI&quot; in the title. &nbsp;I&apos;m tired of fake accents, fake war scenes and AI generated stories. &nbsp;I appreciate the time, effort and research you put forth to make this video focusing on a missing Marine who has the possibility of being located and coming home. &nbsp;Also &quot;thank you&quot; to Vaer watches for their classy sponsorship.

    My cousin, CPL James Hagstrom, was killed in action on Hill 362A. &nbsp;He was in the 3rd Platoon, Company E, 2/28 Marines. &nbsp;It was this platoon that raised the first US flag on Mount Suribachi.

    This is very surreal to me. My first MOS as a young Marine was journalist. To think all these years later, this young man would be the center of all this attention is heartwarming. I never thought my job would ever have any meaning or impact, so I changed MOS. Thank you from all my brother and sister Marines, and from the men and women who bring these images to the public eye.

    I served in the Marines from 78-85, and I have long been aware of the story of Bill Genaust. &nbsp;With all my heart I hope his remains are eventually recovered. &nbsp;I had a cousin on Iwo with I Company, 3rd battalion, 25th Marines. &nbsp;He stepped on a landmine on March 15th, precisely one day before the island was declared secure. &nbsp;Thanks be to God his body was recovered and returned home. &nbsp;No man wants to be left in an unmarked grave, on foreign soil.

    Semper Fidelis for what appears to be exceptional research on the subject of the late Bill Genaust&apos;s remains. &nbsp;You&apos;ve made an excellent case and provided a first-class presentation here on You Tube. &nbsp;Thank you very much for your dedicated work in researching Sergeant Genaust and the Battle for Iwo Jima. &nbsp;Andy McKane, 16 August 2026, Maunaloa, Moloaki, Hawaii.
