A kindred spirit, an esprit-de-corps, exists in the hearts of Marines and is epitomized in their motto, “Semper Fidelis, Always Faithful.” It’s the encouragement Maxine Cardinal Wehry needed to write her story. During WWII, Maxine Cardinal was a young Woman Marine stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station, Ewa, Oahu, Territory of Hawaii. On the weekend of May 26-27, 1945, she met a young Marine survivor of Iwo Jima. He was with the Fifth Marine Division and Easy Company, who had raised our flag, “Old Glory,” on Mt. Suribachi. They were Marines and Hoosiers, thousands of miles from their homes in Evansville and Vincennes, Indiana and a kindred spirit of home existed. When they parted, PFC Lonnie Crowell gave her a Japanese “Rising Sun” flag as a souvenir. Fifty-four years later, she discovered on the flag, three fading signatures Lonnie Crowell, IND; Gene Marshall, NC; and Leonard J. Mooney, NJ. In 2007 she started a journey to find the three people to connect with the three names. This is her adventure.

Excellent story by a strong and special woman that paved the way for future Women Marines
I am a former Woman Marine and what Maxine did
regarding the flag shows that we Marines take care
of each other regardless the time and effort.
Max's story is incredible and should be read by anyone who cares about our country. Her perseverance to find the man who signed her flag is truly inspiring.
I am biased, because my mother (a sister Marine to the author) appears in the book several times. But a very nice read. Hawaii after Pearl Harbor and during the war was an interesting place.
Great book
