Iwo Jima Flag Raising
“Mount Suribachi, February 23, 1945. Six Marines push a length of iron pipe and the second flag into volcanic rock. Foreground shows the men leaning into the pole, jacket cuffs and helmets in motion; midground reveals an officer steadying the base and a corpsman watching with binoculars; the smoking battlefield and black-sand beaches drop away behind toward the gray Pacific.”
