Stars and Stripes On Iwo Jima

When the Yanks raised the stars and stripes on Iwo Jima Isle
Through the blood and tears, they won through
Bless the heart of each Yankee there on Iwo Jima Isle
Resting 'neath a blanket of blue

High on the hill, Suribachi
Flies Old Glory and she always will
When the Yanks raised the stars and stripes on Iwo Jima Isle
There were tears in their hearts though they smiled

When the Yanks raised the stars and stripes on Iwo Jima Isle
Every heart could sing once again
And the sight of Old Glory over Iwo Jima Isle
Swelled the hearts of our fighting men

Long will it wave o'er the hilltop
As a symbol of heroes who died
When the Yanks raised the stars and stripes on Iwo Jima Isle
There were tears in their hearts though they smiled
