Billy” Byrd, a World War II veteran.

Written By Scotty Boyd

I was honored to meet “Billy” Byrd, a World War II veteran. Billy served in the United States Marine Corps and was in the first wave that landed on Iwo Jima in February of 1945. Billy and his company fought for 32 days before they defeated the Japanese and retook the island. Billy, thank you for your sacrifice for the sake of our freedom.
