This photo is the Raising og the American Flag on Mt. Suribachi (spelling ?) on the island of Iwo Jima in WWII. It is actually ther second raising of the flag and the photo was taken by Joe Rosenthal.

The first flagraising atop Mount Suribachi, February 23, 1945

The first flag comes down as the second flag goes up.

The pole weighed over 100 lbs.
