The iconic 1945 photo of Marines raising the American flag over Iwo Jima has been recreated with the gay pride flag.

The recreated image shows four muscular, skin-baring men raising a rainbow flag in place of the Marines and the American flag.

First time I’ve seen it.
I’m outraged!

the photographer, Ed Freeman, was shocked by the hate mail and backlash he has received on social media.

Yeah, because he had no intention of offending anyone. Spits in your eye & has no idea why you're angry. So he's a flag waving member of the hyper sensitive homo crowd and he's surprised someone objects to his abuse of real American heroes.

Irony alert.

Actually the Ft Lauderdale Scum-Sentinel published a photo like this about 20 years ago. I cancelled my subscription and never picked up that outhouse rag again....

These guys did a much better Memorial Day tribute. From 1983:

“It is now a full-frontal attack. There has to be resistance.”

It’s been a full-frontal attack for years, but “moderate” leftist freaks have become emboldened lately.

As an aside, note the buttocks rock at lower right.

AND THEY KNOW NOT ONE OF US IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

The photographer war correspondent died there

Ernie Pyle was not the photographer.

[clintonh8r]

The photographer was Joe Rosenthal, who died just a few years ago.

[GreyFriar]

Ernie Pyle was killed on the island of Le Shima, which is a few miles from Okinawa on April 18, 1945

You're probably right about that, but who's made to play catcher?

Personally, I think the symbology of the recreated picture fully captures our nation's fall from Grace and our defeat in this new style, battlefield-free war where the major casualties have been the blood sacrifice of the unborn.

As such, the possible pole catcher choices range from Uncle Sam to the sacrilegious.

[Salvation]

Sick.

Honor the troops that fought at Iwo Jima.

[I want the USA back]

People who go around waving flags of pride are really very ashamed of themselves.

[gakrak]

I would bet that not one of those SOB’s is
willing to take a bullet for their flag. What
a abomination to our country.

[Mathews]

That so wrong on so many levels.

[phormer phrog phlyer]

It is no longer the White House it is the “Rainbow House”

[WayneS]

This is the first time I’ve ever seen it.

But then again, I don’t go looking for crap like that.

[WayneS]

Their type usually attacks from the rear, don’t they?

[pepsi_junkie]

At least the did a good job matching the original.
