How big is Iwo Jima in acres
Five Marines and 1 Navy corpsman raised a flag on Mount Suribachi located on the island of Iwo Jima. The photograph which later lead to a Marine memorial was taken by Joe Rosenthal.
The only records I have found are still photos. If you have a copy of Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley, there are photos of the stages of the flag raising. (lowering of one as the second was raised to the photo that caused the sensation)
The Marines raised the US flag on the top of Mt Suribachi in the Battle for Iwo Jima.
A second flag was raised on Iwo Jima because the original flag was not very large. Lt Colonel Johnson wanted a flag large enough to be seen by the seamen on the ships around Iwo Jima. The photo of the flag raising on Iwo Jima was taken as the flags were exchanged.
