Joe Rosenthal " Marines Raising the Flag On Mt. Mirabachi at Iwo Jima"
1945
This photograph has a good history behind it. This photograph shows five U.S. Marines and a Navy sailor raising the American flag over the battle-scarred Japanese island of Iwo Jima. It was during the World War II, it was one of the flag that was raised during the war. Earlier that day they raised a small American flag, but because of the size troops were not able to see the small flag. Then, they have to raise this flag that was a lot bigger in size and it took six soldiers to raise it.
This photograph made me feel safe and protected. Because this photograph shows how U.S. Army is standing for us and protecting us day and night. They are sacrificing their life for our safety. And this picture also shows unity, how we all together to raise the flag. I think we all should appreciate and be thankful to them for what they all are doing for our safety.
