The Other Charles Lindberg
I hear on the KARE11 morning news that the legislature renamed Rochester's veteran's hospital after Charles Lindberg, former US Marine Corporal and the last survivor of the group that raised the original flag on Mount Suribachi:
He's also a native of Linton, North Dakota.
Lindberg wrote a book - probably impossible to find - back in the 1960's about his experiences in the Marines and on Iwo Jima. It was in my old high school library; I'd love to find a copy.

That'll be very confusing for people who don't know that there's ANOTHER famous Lindberg(h) from the Upper Midwest, besides the flyer.
