        @thewaz89 @jcorrado19 heard a story they had to do it twice. No photo on first raising. The iconic photo is the second pass. 🤔

        @raschatz @jcorrado19 Read that once also. A lot of people don't know that this was mid-battle and three of those guys didn't make it.

        @ABC If you want to learn more about the Iwo Jima flag raisers I highly recommend Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley. Great book!
