What does the flag raising mean on Iwo Jima?
This photograph shows the Marines of the 5th Division advancing up a slope during the 1945 battle of Iwo Jima. Marines planted and raised a flag to mark their capture of the peak, to the delight of American witnesses, but a Japanese grenade attack interrupted them when the enemy heard the Americans cheer for the flag.What lessons can we learn from Iwo Jima?
The hellishness of war should never be forgotten. But an equally important lesson to remember from Iwo Jima is the price of freedom is high. We pay in the lives of our young men and women who go into battle. The truth is just as real today in Iraq and Afghanistan as it was 60 years ago on the beaches of Iwo Jima.What was the point of Iwo Jima?
Iwo Jima, which means Sulfur Island, was strategically important as an air base for fighter escorts supporting long-range bombing missions against mainland Japan.- Mt. Suribachi, the island's most prominent feature, was the site of the famed U.S. Marine Corps flag raising on February 23, 1945. Due to the first raised flag being too small, a second more visible flag was ordered.

On 19 February 1945, U.S. naval, land, and air
forces launched Operation Detachment, the amphibious assault to seize the Japanese-held island of Iwo Jima. Though the battle would last 36 days, it is largely remembered for the23 February events during just a few hours on
the extinct volcano Mount Suribachi at the island's southern end. That morning, as JohnC. Chapin wrote in

embodiment of the Marine Corps and its ethos in the eyes of the American public.

Resnick, who had served at Iwo Jima on board

10Resnick's claim

It even prompted the Ma rine Corps History Division to make a request disavow Resnick's assertions and to remove ma terial related to his claims from their website. 11The contention between the two Services was

The war years were all of the same design and built simultaneously on both coasts and in shipyards along the Ohio and Mississippi River systems.The LST-542-class was essentially similar to the
