Dear Colonel Choike:
I was disappointed with the response of Colonel Johnson yesterday. He refused to discuss any compromise regarding our intention to lay flowers at the Iwo Jima War Memorial in a ceremony to remember Marines and others who have died in war.
It is important to emphasize that the political event will be taking place off-base property. The only thing that will occur at the edge of base property, in an area always open to the public every day of the year except this Sunday -- as I was told on the call -- is the laying of flowers to remember the war dead at a war memorial. This is not a political activity, but recognition for those who have died in war.
