Hey everyone, I hope this is O.K. here in this subreddit!

Here is a copy of my grandmother's brother's last letter home. I was having difficulty reading some of the text. Was wondering if someone could fill in the blanks for me. His name was William Kennelley, from Hemlock, MI. He died on Iwo Jima, and was part of the 28th marines, 2nd Battalion, F company.

Dear mother, dad & family Well I am very glad to be able to write again. I hope everyone is fine back home. Boy I'm telling you, I don't know how I ever made it, but I did. I guess the goof lord was the one that brought me through it. We are now on the Island of "Iwo Jima." Boy there is a big hill on it. I am sitting right near the big hill now. We put the flag on the hill yesterday. That was our Battalion. I seen plenty of Japs and our _________ ______ got plenty also. We have got our end of the Island secured. The other end isn't quite secured yet. I hope we get out of here pretty soon. Well I'll write as soon as I can again. "Goodbye Now" I will write more when time P.S. I've got plenty of souveneirs. Love Bill
