And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."

My uncle never made it past the beach, took a round through his arm and one through his stomach. He was lucky to live to tell the tale.

That was actually the 2d raising of a flag. They'd taken the hill and raised a flag earlier in the day. However, it was a small flag and couldn't be seen from very far away. They decided they wanted a larger one so it could be seen by troops farther away to give them courage. The photographer, Joe Rosenthal, who was made famous by the photo, got up there for the 2d raising and his photo made history This photo is the 1st flag, attached to a water pipe they'd found on the hill. ![[Linked Image from upload.wikimedia.org]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/First_Iwo_Jima_Flag_Raising.jpg/330px-First_Iwo_Jima_Flag_Raising.jpg)
