PFC Robert Doty was a member of the 28th Reg., 5th Marine Division during World War II. He took part in the invasion of Iwo Jima in February 1945.

From Honor the Veterans:
John B Bennett enlisted in the Marine Corps on November 10, 1943. He and Robert W Doty were good friends in Iwo Jima. Robert was shot in the back (The Spearhead, page 194) and John carried him to the medics. The Doty family has always credited John for saving Robert’s life. After Robert Doty’s passing from a massive heart attack in 1972, his wife, Mary Louise, and the Bennett family got back in touch. They have corresponded throughout the years.
