Retired Lt. Gen. Lawrence Snowden, 93, is currently the most senior-ranking survivor of the battle. He was a captain serving with Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division when he fought on Iwo Jima. In 1995 he started the Reunion of Honor on Iwo Jima to honor both the American and Japanese who gave their lives. Currently a resident of Tallahassee, Florida, next month he is traveling to Iwo Jima with three airplanes of veterans and their family members. Snowden said he makes sure all the attendees know that they are not going there to celebrate their victory, but to honor all who died.
