Elgin native Dud Morris fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima and remembers it vividly. These days you'll often find Dud sharing stories of sacrifice and two-stepping the night away across Central Texas. His story:
ELGIN, Texas — It has been nearly 80 years but United States Navy and World War II veteran Dud Morris can still vividly remember the Battle of Iwo Jima.
"We hauled the Marines in and out — very bad for young boys,” Morris said. "When you got back we said, we made it through the day. Please, , be with us tomorrow." "As far as I know I’m the only one left. I served with a lot of good men,” Morris said. "I talked to a lady the other day. She was 52 years old and never heard of of Iwo Jima, and that’s bad.”
"I went far and wide — 100 miles, 200 miles — and if I can find me a pretty lady to go with me I’d certainly do that,” Morris said.
