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."
