The Native Marine In America’s Most Famous WWII Photograph – And What Happened After He Came Home
The Flag That Is Still Raised
Every morning at the Marine Corps War Memorial, a flag is raised on the pole that stands at the center of the monument.
It is raised by Marines in dress uniform.
Tourists photograph it.
Families with children watch.
Veterans stop and look.
The bronze figures surrounding that pole have not changed since 1954.
They will not change.
