Marines raising the flag atop Mount Suribachi during the battle for Iwo Jima, February 23, 1945.



At this year’s Military Ball we honored one of the guests, who was an Iwo Jima veteran, by reenacting the flag raising. He was tearing up, Master Sergeant was tearing up, I was tearing up. It felt so nice to honor him.
