Iwo Jima, The First Flag
Ron Stark. On February 23, 1945, atop Mt. Suribachi,

emerged from the Marines on the beaches and the sailors at sea. Later, this
flag was lowered and replaced with a larger flag. Although a photo of the
second flag would be cherished by the home front, the first flag belonged to
the heroes of Iwo Jima. Limited edition, numbered print measures 32"x 23".
Veteran Edition. Signed by the artist and two veterans
who raised the first flag on Iwo Jima, including the last living flag-raiser
Chuck Lindberg, who passed away on June 24, 2007. |
