Let's never forget ALL the names.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...utline.svg.pngHOWEVER:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ag_Raising.jpgRaising the First Flag on Iwo Jima by SSgt. Louis R. Lowery, USMC, is the most widely circulated photograph of the first flag flown on Mt. Suribachi. The Marines and Navy corpsman in SSgt. Lowery's photograph were photographed after 1Lt. Harold Schrier (3rd platoon commander, E Company, 2nd Battalion, 28th Marines, 5th Marine Division), Sgt. Ernest Thomas (platoon sergeant), and Sgt. Henry Hansen (platoon guide) had raised the first pipe and flag on Mount Suribachi.[7] Left to right: 1Lt. Harold Schrier (crouched behind radioman's legs), Pfc. Raymond Jacobs (radioman assigned from F Company), Sgt. Henry "Hank" Hansen (cloth cap, securing flag pipe with left hand), Platoon Sgt. Ernest "Boots" Thomas (seated), Pvt. Phil Ward (helmeted, securing flag pipe with both hands), PhM2c John Bradley, USN (helmeted, securing the flag pipe with right hand, standing above Pvt. Ward), Pfc. James Michels (holding Carbine rifle), and Cpl. Charles W. Lindberg (standing above Michels). Neither the iconic Rosenthal photo nor this one were 'staged' PFC Michels is seriously on alert and SGT Hanson's bayonet is 'fixed' ready for whatever...:salute: of additional interest: http://collectinghistory.net/iwojima/ http://collectinghistory.net/iwojima/iwo.jpgOne goes up (for posterity) one comes down...:salute:
