The ceremony gave both countries the opportunity to honor the service members who lost their lives during the battle. The reunion was sponsored by the Iwo Jima Associations of America and Japan and was coordinated with assistance from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the government of Japan and the U.S. Marine Corps. Mervosh was a company commander during the Battle of Iwo Jima and retired from the Marine Corps after 35 years of service in 1977.
