Ironically, the book Flags of our Fathers was written by someone who believed that his father was one of the 6 men in Joe Rosenthal's photo...but the Marine Corps later determined that Bradley was not one of those in the photo.

My father was in the Sixth Marine Division and saw combat on Guam and Okinawa, but not on Iwo Jima. I once watched Sands of Iwo Jima with him--he thought it was pretty realistic.

That is wrong. John Bradley was one of them.

You are right. I stand corrected.
