VIDEO: WWII – Shipboard Mass – 12 Feb 1945 before Iwo Jima

Iwo Jima - 7000 killed, 20,000 wounded, probably included some of these men.

This is some footage of a Mass on board LST-782, a Landing Ship – Tank.

Note the movement of the ship.

The priest looks a little like the new auxiliary bishop in St. Paul and Minneapolis, Andrew Cozzens.

I am sure I have a chasuble just like that somewhere in storage.
