Bob (Killer) Keeshan and Fred (Slash) Rogers were together on Iwo Jima. Finding themselves totally out of ammunition and under heavy fire from two separate enemy machine gun nests, they glanced at each other, winked, and charged over the hill.

Keeshan went to the left and Rogers to the right, dodging bullets. Using nothing but their bayonets and bare fists they were able to kill an entire squadron of Japanese soldiers and totally destroy the machine gun nests.

Later they were asked how they had avoided the shower of machine gun bullets. They just grinned and took a big swig of water from their canteens. Onlookers were amazed to see the fountains of water spewing out of the multiple holes all over their bodies.

Later on Mount Suribachi they helped raise the flag and you can see their likeness immortalized in the famous statue in Washington DC.

People will be amazed to know that Rogers was at Roswell in 1948 and shot down the UFO with his revolver.
