Follow a veteran of the 4th Marine Division as he returns to Iwo Jima for the final time. We also chronicle a son who has spent decades trying to get details of his father's time on Iwo, with little luck, so he, too, is returning to the island and trying to put his dad's wartime puzzle together. The documentary features many other interviews with Iwo Jima veterans. Narrated by Jim Nantz.
