The Iwo Jima flag raisers refer to the six U.S. Marines who famously raised the American flag on Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II, on February 23, 1945. This iconic moment was captured in a photograph by Joe Rosenthal, which became a symbol of American patriotism and sacrifice. The image later inspired the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. The flag raising represented a pivotal moment in the battle, which was a crucial step in the campaign to secure the Pacific.
