Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima
Hat tip Gateway Pundit for the reminder and text: | This historic picture was taken on Iwo Jima, February 23, 1945, by Joe Rosenthal. It depicts five United States Marines and a U.S. Navy corpsman raising the flag of the United States atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II.
The men are, left to right, Ira Hayes, Mike Strank, Franklin Sousley, Rene Gagnon, John Bradley, and Harlon Block.
Remember them and all the brave Marines and sailors today. |
