Joe Rosenthal did not get to the beach until 1435 the first flag was raised at 1020--four hours earlier. http://www.bullworks.net/iwojima.htm "The exchange of the two flags took place at 1435, about four hours after the first flag was raised, and was recorded as a still picture by Marine Photographer Pvt. Robert R. Campbell; to his right Marine Cameraman Sgt. William H. Genaust, (later KIA), took color film moving pictures of the raising of the second and larger flag. It was during this time that Associated Press Photographer Joe Rosenthal snapped the still photo that was later to become the model for the Marine Monument erected at Arlington National Cemetery. " http://www.ibew.org/stories/01journal/0106/IwoJima.htm "On February 24, 2001, they showed up at the Richfield, Minnesota, home of 80-year-old Charles Lindberg, a retired member of IBEW Local 292, Minneapolis. He was presented with a letter from the commandant of the Marine Corps honoring his role in the historic raising of the U.S. flag at Iwo Jima. Formal Marine Corps recognition of what happened on February 23, 1945, came 56 years later because Lindberg helped raise the original flag on Mt. Suribachi at 10:40 a.m. Several hours later six other marines replaced it with a bigger flag and Associated Press Photographer Joe Rosenthal snapped what is arguably the most famous photo of World War II." darkroommike ---------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Zinn" <azinn@netbox.com> To: "List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students" <photoforum@listserver.isc.rit.edu> Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 10:47 PM Subject: Re: Brian Walski Fired. > At 07:14 PM 4/3/03 -0500, you wrote: > >At 05:15 PM 4/3/2003 -0600, you wrote: > > > >>The famous Iwo Jima flag raising over Mt.
