Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima is an iconic photograph taken by Joe Rosenthal on February 23, 1945, which depicts six United States Marines (Sgt Strank, Cpl Block, Cpl Schultz, Cpl Keller, PFC Sousley, PFC Hayes) raising a U.S. flag atop Mount Suribachi, during the Battle of Iwo Jima, in World War II.
This is my own artistic take of that historic moment and iconic photograph.
