Comes from Tokyo this news that the island of Iwo Jima - which apparently was never officially named Iwo Jima, says the linked article - is being renamed Iwo To, which apparently was its name before the war.
I don't have anything to add to this, other than this:
When I lived in Bart Villa with The Captain and G.I. Matt, we had in our possession a VHS copy of John Wayne's "Sands of Iwo Jima." It sat on its end on the TV cabinet next to other movies. Our friend Lisa (horribly missed) came over one evening, spied the movie from a distance, and said, "...... 'Sands of Two Jims'?"
And you thought I'd put something pointless here.

Please note: My policy at Bramble Tamble is to not use real names for private citizens. I hope you will adhere to this policy; hell, it's my only rule here. (But you can use your own real name if you'd like. Cause I'm magnanimous like that.)
