The Flag Raising on Iwo Jima: Rare Footage of a Historic Moment

The Struggle for Iwo Jima and the Flag on Mount Suribachi

While Joe Rosenthal’s Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph is the defining image of World War II, this motion picture footage captures the raw reality of the second flag-raising on Mount Suribachi, February 23, 1945. US Marines from the 3rd Platoon, E Company, fought through one of the bloodiest bttles in the Pacific to reach the summit. This moment symbolized hope for the troops below, yet the cost was high. Tragically, of the six men depicted in the iconic flag-raising, three were klled in action just days later during the ongoing f*ghting on the island. This video stands as a testament to the sacrifice and grit of the "Greatest Generation."
