Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima

Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima





This Pulitzer-winning photograph by Joe Rosenthal catches six men raising the American banner at Iwo Jima amid World War 2. The American government utilized this picture to rouse the whole country. The war was a long way from being over and three of these six men had lost their lives. Presently, in the event that they all bite the dust in the war, the moving message that the administration was attempting to send crosswise over would not stay motivating any longer. In this way, they attempted to protect the staying three. Two consented to leave the war. The 6th man, Ira Hayes declined to get safeguarded. Yet, he was expelled from battle. When he understood that his companions had kicked the bucket in the war, he spent whatever is left of his life in persistent regret. In the interim, Rosenthal would be blamed for organizing the scene for his photo and he would safeguard it as good fortune. It was truth be told, an extraordinary call by Rosenthal and without a doubt, good fortune.
