Most people are familiar with the Rosenthal photo and the requests to change my page relate to wanting the six men in that photo (Ira Hayes, Franklin Sousley, John Bradley, Harlon Block, Michael Strank, Rene Gagnon) represented in the poem verse as SIX men....not five.

I've been wrestling with this for several days now and I really would appreciate it if some of you folks would review the photos and history presented on "Who raised the flag on Iwo Jima" and provide some insight/opinions about this for me.

Thanks.

If you knew anything about the makeup of Marine fighting units [*fire teams*] at the time of the flagraising on Mt. Suribachi, you'd have another question as well.
