There's a couple of other films he should have gotten a nomination for, but that's another story. Wayne got his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor in this part. He's also got one lousy personal life as his wife's left him and taken their son. Striker is a tough as nails Marine Corps lifer whose got a job to whip a lot of recruits into shape for the later Pacific landings after Guadalcanal.

John Wayne as Sergeant Striker got one of his most memorable parts of his career in Sands of Iwo Jima. He started training them for that and come World War II they were certainly ready. He also saw that the survival of the Marines as an entity involved them training for a very specialized kind of mission, amphibious warfare. Lejeune became the Marine Corps Commandant and he saw that we would be in a war in the Pacific with the Japanese as our foes. Right after World War I a very farsighted man named John A. Over the course of its history it was interesting to learn that the Marines many times were threatened with extinction, to be folded into either the army or navy right up to and including World War I. I read a history of the United States Marine Corps from it's formation during the American Revolution. It took about a month to do that, the flag was raised on the fifth day. Of course the real heroism was in capturing the island that was less than a 1000 miles from the main islands of Japan and the airfields on Iwo Jima that could be used by our bombers for land based flights. In fact because the three surviving flag raisers, Joseph Bradley, Rene Gagnon, and Ira Hayes all were in this film it's even more proof of how the symbolic flag raising has become mythologized. Although Clint Eastwood's recent Flags of Our Fathers has told the real story about the flag raising at Iwo Jima, it hasn't diminished any of the impact that Sands of Iwo Jima has, either back when it was released or viewed today.
