February 23, one of the most iconic photographs of World War II was taken by Joe Rosenthal.

Flag Raising on Iwo Jima

It is a bit advance but since I can't go on the net for a few days I'd might as well post it now.

Well, Happy B-Day to him Shinpachi.

Quite a picture, and only second to my favorite photograph of the PTO.

Two more great pics from that day.

The first flagraising and the celebration on top of Suribachi after the 2nd.
