64 Years Ago Today-- Raising The Flag On Iwo Jima



From Gateway Pundit:

Raising The Flag On Iwo Jima.

This historic picture below 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.

(left to right) Ira Hayes, Mike Strank, Franklin Sousley, Rene Gagnon, John Bradley, Harlon Block.

In a day and age where the media and democratic politicians attack, ignore and slander the military, this photo is a good reminder of the many heroes who have served this great nation over the past 232 years.
Hat Tip Terry Harris

UPDATE: Navy Jag has a great Iwo Jima story here including video here and here.
