U.S. Marine Corps photo by Eve A. Baker/Released 150220-M-RW124-001.JPG

Charles Frazier, former corporal with 8th Field Regiment Unit, 5th Marine Division, and Germantown, Maryland resident, is still going strong and working at age 89. After his Marine Corps service, Frazier worked for the federal government for 36 years. After he retired, he said he was home for six weeks and couldn’t stand it, so he got a part-time job driving cars at a car dealership in Maryland and has been there for 33 years. Frazier attended training at Montford Point, North Carolina, in 1944 and landed on Iwo Jima on Feb. 22. He said as a black man, he and his unit were first kept separate from the white Marines, but during battle they all served together. He said he is not going back to the island for the 70th anniversary, because he “had enough of that” the first time.
