EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures a historic moment during World War II - the raising of the first American flag on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima, on February 23,1945. The soldiers in this image represent the bravery and sacrifice of countless Allied troops who fought in one of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific theater. In this powerful snapshot, we see Sergeant Henry Hansen standing tall without his helmet, embodying unwavering courage.

Corporal Charles Lindberg stands at attention on the right side of the frame, symbolizing strength and unity among comrades. Private First Class James Michels guards with his carbine rifle, exemplifying vigilance in protecting their hard-fought victory. The sight of Old Glory being raised against a backdrop of war-torn terrain evokes a sense of hope amidst chaos and destruction.
