Probably the most haunted island in the world. 30,000 dead in 30 days. A mil buddy who is still in was able to make one of the rare visits to the island about 6 years ago. While there he collected a small amount of the black volcanic sand from the beach and sent it to me. My only connection to the event being stationed aboard USS Iwo Jima LHD-7. Got to meet Jack Lucas a few times when he visited the ship.
