ON this date in 1945 - The 28th Regiment of the Fifth Marine Division of the U.S. Marines reached the top of Mount Surabachi.

A photograph of these Marines raising the American flag was taken.

Perhaps the most iconic photo of an American military force in action, Bun Man, Mr. Purple and I take our Army hats off and salute those and all Marines on this memorable day.
