Raising the flag on Iwo Jima

Photograph (reproduction) of "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal, circa 1945.

Caption: "The photograph reproduced above is probably the most dramatic picture to come out of the Pacific war. It shows a daring quartet of U.S. Marines of the 28th regiment hoisting the Stars and Stripes atop Suribachi, Iwo Jima's volcanic fort, after a terrific struggle to attain this position and this historic moment. The photo was made by Joe Rosenthal, Associated Press photographer with the wartime still picture pool."

Part of a disassembled album containing materials related to Paul J. Madden's service with the U.S. Navy during World War II, circa 1940-1995.
