Two Iwo Jima Veterans (Age 100 and 101) Flew to D.C. To Serve for the National Day Parade
"Iwo Jima veterans Billy Byrd (100) and Don Graves (101) flew to Washington, D.C., where they will serve as Honorary Grand Marshals for the National Memorial Day Parade. 
The first thing they did when they saw each other? Started talking trash.
Some things never change. 
"
"Don Graves immediately started busting on Byrd, "Get out of that chair," and teasing him about having his arms folded, before professing it was great to see him. Don said they were two of the only ones left after 80 years. He teased Billy, saying, "He looks like he's been through a battle right now." Billy smiled and waved his flag.
The two men are in Washington, D.C., to serve as honorary grand marshals of the National Memorial Day Parade, to remember and honor their comrades, as well as so many others like them who gave their lives in the service of this country."
