Two of the six men, Mike Strank and Harlon Block, died about a week later during battle on Iwo Jima. Another, Franklin Sousley, died about a month later on Iwo Jima. The surviving three, John "Doc" Bradley, Ira Hayes and Rene Gagnon were sent on a War Bond tour to raise money for the U.S. Marines during World War II once the picture became famous. Ira died in 1955 under mysterious circumstances. Rene died of a heart attack in 1979. John lived to be the ripe old age of 70 before he died from complications of a stroke and Heart disease in 1994.
