  There was the time Getzlaf plucked his cross-ice pass out of midair and went in and scored.
  There were the many bruises he collected over the years playing against the Ducks.

  Seventy-five years ago this week, the U.S. Marine Corps began the invasion of Iwo Jima. The tiny island in the Pacific Ocean was considered Japanese soil and fiercely guarded. The battle is said to have been the bloodiest in the war, and Iwo Jima had a monumental impact on the Marine Corps.
