That's a Copy of the Original Doc, signed!!!
The one everyone sees today was taken shortly thereafter because in the First one the Flag was too small.

But that one I posted was actually as it happened.:iwo:

I joined for that flag. Semper Fidelis.

There think was a movie made about finding the Marines that raised the first flag.

There is, It's called Flags of our Fathers, and its directed by Clint Eastwood. Its somewhat confusing at first because the movie skips from past to present, but once its over you just sit there and say wow.

Rah Devils! My grandfather fought there. He was in the next wave to raise the flag. Servered the whole duration as arty. Semper fi

My grandfather was there too Polizei, but he was off-shore on the USS Pittsburgh.
