The Enterprise — Michael Koff

American flags abound at Altamont’s Home Front Café on Tuesday, Feb. 19, the 74th anniversary of the beginning of the battle of Iwo Jima. The Iwo Jima Survivors of New York’s Capital Region, who gather once a month for breakfast at the café, had a special get-together to mark the anniversary of the start of the 36-day battle, which had over 26,000 American casualties, including nearly 7,000 killed in action on the eight-square-mile volcanic island.
