Of course you know there were two flag raisings, the first one did not get the media attention as the second one which happened to be photographed by two AP photographers....

Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima is a historic photograph taken on February 23, 1945.
There are six Flag Raisers on the photo. Four in the front line and two in back.
The front four are (left to right) Ira Hayes, Franklin Sousley, John Bradley and Harlon Block.
The back two are Michael Strank (behind Sousley) and Rene Gagnon (behind Bradley).
Strank, Block and Sousley would die shortly afterwards. Bradley, Hayes and Gagnon became national heroes within weeks.
