Description

1x Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima Objective Marker

It shows five United States Marines - Ira Hayes, Harlon Block, Franklin Sousley, Michael Strank and Rene Gagnon – and Navy hospital corpsman John Bradley raising a US flag at the summit of Mount Suribachi on February 23, 1945, in the early stages of the Battle of Iwo Jima.

It was actually the second flag raised on Mount Suribach on February 23. First Lieutenant Harold Schrier raised a smaller flag a few hours earlier, after leading a 40-man combat patrol up the mountain. But this first flag was too small to be seen clearly from the landing beaches. Colonel Chandler Johnson, commander of the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines, ordered PFC Rene Gagnon to take a larger flag up Mount Suribachi to replace it. Block, Sousley and Hayes had spent the morning laying a telephone wire to the top of Mount Suribachi. The marines attached the flag to an old steel Japanese water pipe, and Rosenthal reached the summit just in time to snap the scene of it being raised.
