Perhaps no photograph is better known than Joe Rosenthal’s picture of six U.S. Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima. It was taken on Friday, Feb. 23, 1945.
Raising the flag on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima
America has a long history of asking its citizens to sacrifice in order to keep us free. Today we honor those who died but there are many of us that left a piece of ourselves on those battle fields scattered around the world.
