Sixty Years Ago

Sixty years ago today, a flag was raised over Mount Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima. A short time later, a larger flag replaced it. The picture of the second flag going up will live forever in American history.

I recommend reading "Flag of Our Fathers" written by John (?) Bradley, whose father was one of the flag raisers. A wonderful, moving book.
