Dave Severance:
"I'd tell their folks that they died for their country, I'm not sure that was it."

Dave Severance:
"We like things nice and simple - good and evil, heroes and villains. There are always plenty of those. Most of the time they are not who we think they are."

Dave Severance:
"Nobody even noticed that second flag going up. Everybody saw that damn picture and made up their own story about it. But your dad and the others knew what they had done, and what they had not done. All your friends dying, it's hard enough to be called a hero for saving somebody's life. But for putting up a pole?"

Colonel Johnson:
"Our target, Island X, is an ugly, smelly, dirty little scab of rock called Iwo Jima. It means "Sulfur Island," which accounts for the smell. Looks sort of like a burnt pork chop if you ask me. After twenty straight days of bombing, you won't find a blade of grass or a twig on it. It wasn't that pretty to start with."

Bud:
"People on the street corners, they looked at this picture and they took hope. Don't ask me why, I think it's a crappy picture, myself. You can't even see your faces! But it said we can win this war, are winning this war, we just need you to dig a little deeper. They want to give us that money. No, they want to give it to *you*."

Ira:
"I cant take them calling me a hero, all I did was try not to get shot. Some of the things I saw Doug, the things I did... they weren't things to be proud of, you know."

Captain Severance:
" This isn't just any island to them. This isn't Tarawa, Guam, Tinian, or Saipan. This is Japanese soil, sacred ground. Twelve thousand Japanese defenders in eight square miles, they will not leave politely, gentlemen! It's up to us to convince them."

James Bradley:
"[last] I finally came to the conclusion that He, maybe, He was right. Maybe there's no such thing as heroes; Maybe there are just people like my dad. I finally came to understand why they were so uncomfortable being called 'heroes'. Heroes are something we create; something we need. It's a way for us to understand what's almost incomprehensible, how people could sacrifice so much for us,"
[⋯]:
"⋯but for my dad and these men: the risks they took; the wounds they suffered - they did that for their buddies. They may have fought for their country but they died for their friends. For the man in front, for the man beside him, and if we wish to truly honor these men we should remember them the way they really were, the way my dad remembered them."
