Wrong Pic, Tony.... here it is HERE!!!!! Photo by S/Sgt Lou Lowery of Leatherneck magazine--the actual Flag raising on Suribachi at about 1020 on the morning of 23 February 1945--a larger "replacement" flag (other pic, above) was substituted later that same day.

Thank you so much for the ping, jigsaw, and thanks for the information, gunny!

This is amazing and wonderful! It's about time someone did this! As far as I know, Charles Lindberg is still alive, and it must be a good feeling for him (after having watched Bond Tours and memorial dedications from the back seat) to know someone cares enough to do something like this.

Where do I donate?
