Iwo Jima Anniversary

Sixty-one years ago today, the Marines captured Mount Suribachi and this photo by Joe Rosenthal of the Associated Press become one of the most reproduced photos in history. This photo and many others are in the public domain and can be seen at the National Archives.
"On This Day" from the NY Times reminds us of the anniversary.
