Flags of Our Fathers

I think the turning point will be when the author, James Bradley finds out all of the specific details about his father in the war. James found a letter written by his father. It was addressed to his parents. It stated that the flag raising was "the happiest moment" of his life. Reading this made James want to research into his dad and the battle at Iwo Jima.
