Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima / Joe Rosenthal, 23 February 1945 (Joe Rosenthal was born October 9, 1911 in Washington, D.C. His interest in photography started during the Great Depression. He was rejected by the U.S. Army as a photographer during World War II for poor eyesight, so he joined the Associated Press and followed the U.S. Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater of Operations. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1945 for his photograph of five Marines and one Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mt. Suribachi during the battle of Iwo Jima. He died August 20, 2006)
