A WWII veteran awaits an elevator at the Marines' Memorial Club and Hotel library in San Francisco March 13, 2013. He was there to celebrate the 68th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima with a luncheon ceremony. The event was also an opportunity to accentuate the connection between the WWII-era 4th Marine Division with today's 4th Marine Division. More than 100 veterans, modern Marines and guests were in attendance.
