Have you seen the trailer for Flags of our Fathers? I saw it last night for the first time. It's directed by Clint Eastwood and Steven Speilberg and it's about the flag raising at Iwo Jima.
We have discussed this film in other threads. This trailer looks good. The Rosenthal photo is one that still puts a lump in my throat and has such a powerful effect.
Wherever their bones may lie, the courage of heroes is consecrated in the hearts and engraved in the history of the free. Lt Col Honner DSO MC, 39th Commander speaking of the dead from the battle of Kokoda.

Ah, sorry for the duplication. I looked around but didn't see it.
is there any more info about that photo because i wouldn't be at all supprised hear it was staged not long after the capture of the island............
the original raising of the flag was not photographed but it was done again soon after for the photo . This is the second movie on that subject the fiirst was about Ira Hayes one of the guys who helped raise it and his subsequent tragic life
No, the second flag raising was not a staged event. There are pictures of the first flag raising as well. But the famous Rosenthal photo was not staged.
