The flag was put on the Iwo Jima flagpole twice. First there was a smaller flag and the commander requested a larger one be put up. So it depends on which flag you are referring to that will determine how many hands of the soldiers were put on the flag pole. You could watch the video of both times and count them.
12 hands are holding the flag pole. The email chain letter curculating in 2010 (and before) that enumerates 13 is not supported by the words of Felix de Weldon, the sculptor.

The Iwo Jima Memorial is located near the Arlington cemetery, across the Potomac river from Washington, D.C. Technically speaking, the original, plaster statue from which the bronze statue in Arlington was cast, is located at the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Texas. Its sculptor, Dr. Felix de Weldon, donated it to the Academy where he oversaw its reassembly and was present for its dedication on 16 April 1982. This statue is actually slightly larger than the one in Arlington Cemetery.
