Letters from Iwo Jima Quote

General Tadamichi Kuribayashi : [ Tadamichi turns up in time to stop Ito from beheading Saigo and Shimizu ] I don't want you to kill my soldiers needlessly. Put down your sword. Put it down! [ Ito sheathes his katana and salutes ]
General Tadamichi Kuribayashi : What's going on here?
Lieutenant Ito : These men ran from Suribachi.
General Tadamichi Kuribayashi : Lt. Ito, I gave the order that all survivors retreat to the north caves.
Lieutenant Ito : [ embarrassed ] I am very sorry, General. It's just... Suribachi... has fallen. [ Tadamichi rushes to a cave opening and sees Mount Suribachi from a distance, with a U.S flag raised on the summit ]
