Veterans of Iwo Jima often refer to the soft black sand due to its unique and challenging characteristics, which played a significant role in the brutal fighting during the battle. The sand, composed of volcanic ash, made movement difficult and created obstacles for both soldiers and equipment. Additionally, the color and texture of the sand contrasted sharply with the harsh conditions of combat, leaving a lasting impression on those who fought there. This vivid memory serves as a symbol of the intense struggles and sacrifices faced during the battle.
