Re: Iwo Jima...70th
Not to take anything away from the U.S. soldiers who fought & won & lived,& the ones who fought & won & lost their lives there,but that iconic flag raising photo was actually staged hours later after the initial raising.
Here's the original flag raising hours earlier,and the true story,that seems to never be mentioned.Lest we not forget. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/22/opinio...a-anniversary/

Re: Iwo Jima...70th
Rick...thanks for adding that to the thread. It is an important part of the story and one that many folks are not aware of.
The symbolic nature of those flags will hopefully endure forever [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] wilma
