		Before the battle of Iwo Jima was over, 36 of the 40 men who climbed Mt. Suribachi to raise the first flag were killed or injured.

		Lindberg, who returned to Iwo Jima for the 50th anniversary of the battle and briefly raised a flag again with other Veterans who fought on Iwo Jima, is gratified to realize his efforts at telling America about the first flag-raising have been fairly successful.

	Raising the Flag Over Iwo Jima, 1945 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The photograph at the right of Marines raising the American flag at the summit of Mt. Suribachi during the battle for Iwo Jima has become an enduring image of bravery and heroism.
		This flag was deemed too small to be easily seen from the base of the mountain so a second, larger flag was raised.
		As part of that Marine group, 24-year-old Corporal Charles Lindberg, a combat veteran of the Guadalcanal and the Bougainville campaign, watched the intense bombardment of Iwo Jima and realized that the landing at Red Beach One would be anything but easy.

	History of the Flag-Raising On Iwo Jima
		All six were struggling to raise the flag when Rosenthal snapped a picture of the scene.
		When queried a few days later by his wire service picture editor as to whether "the flag raising picture" was posed, Rosenthal, unaware of which picture had had the sensational reception in the United States, thought the editor meant the one which actually had been posed.
		Because of the haste with which their bond-selling tour was organized, none of the surviving flag raisers seemed to have had time to examine closely the Rosenthal picture.

	Gunny G's....The Flag Raisings - Lest We Forget!
		Later that same day, a larger, "replacement" flag was substituted for the original, and was photographed at that time by Joe Rosenthal; and it was that photo that soon became famous as The Iwo Jima Flag Raising.
		The WTC Flag picture, above, has recently appeared many times displayed together with Rosenthal's photo, but I have never seen it in combination with the genuine article by Lowery, therefore, I think that this combination of photos above is more appropriate, and each photo complements the other most fully.
		Up until the September issue my pictures and the correct story of the flag raising have been held in secret because the flag shot of Rosenthal's, although a phony, was a great picture and did much to publicize the Marine Corps.

		Bradley is the son of John Bradley, a Navy corpsman who was one of the men photographed raising the flag on Iwo Jima.

		The flag was tied with cotton cord to a metal drainage pipe about two inches in diameter before being raised during the battle, Abelsma said.

		IWO JIMA (Routers) Controversy has erupted among the press corps in the last few days as news has spread that the now-famous picture of the "victorious" flag raising over Iwo Jima a couple weeks ago was staged.
		It's important to emphasize that Iwo Jima is Japanese soil and that the Japanese militants are, therefore, simply fighting desperately to defend their homes and their culture against an insensitive and unthinking America that thinks it can bring their country to democracy through brute force.
		In the Iwo Jima case the second flag was raised for reasons that had nothing to do with getting pictures, the battle was still going on, and news reports at the time accurately described the two seperate raisings and their purposes.

	NPR : Eastwood Returns with 'Flags of Our Fathers'
		Joe Rosenthal's iconic photograph of servicemen raising the U.S. flag on Iwo Jima actually captures the second time the men raised the flag.
		He says Eastwood's film is historically true to events, including its depiction of the war-bond drive, the spectacular scenes of ships coming to Iwo Jima, and the congestion on the beach during the invasion.
		Melson says the film accurately represents the dangers faced by Navy medics and acknowledges that the U.S. flag was raised and photographed several times -- and that the image that persists today is that of the second flag-raising.

		The fl-and-white "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" shows four soldiers struggling to plant a tall flagpole with the US banner atop Mt. Suribachi during the battle for the strategically important island, in which the Japanese lost nearly 20,000 men and the US forces more than 6,000.

		His son James Bradley (who wrote a book about the flag-raisers in 2000 titled Flags of Our Fathers) speculated that his father's determined silence and discomfort on the subject of his role in the Battle of Iwo Jima was largely due to memories of John's best friend, Ralph "Iggy" Ignatowski.
		Ignatowski was captured, dragged into a tunnel by Japanese soldiers during the battle, and was later found with his eyes, ears, and fingernails removed, his teeth smashed, the back of his head caved in, multiple bayonet wounds to the abdomen, and his severed genitalia stuffed into his mouth.
		John Bradley died of a stroke in an Antigo hospital on January 11, 1994, at the age of 70; the last of the six flag raisers.
