Iwo Jima, Japan

Throughout America’s history, Americans have been famous and infamous for their bravery and tenacity- in fact, our country was started on the foundation of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

World War Two was not fought on our soil. However, America's powerful reaction to the Nazis was formidable. This rich story of redemption, patriotism, and love is very real, as depicted by this famous picture. Brave Americans like these soldiers are heroes every day, creating a profound impact on our society. This photo is a testimony of the unconventional wisdom and justice expressed by men and women throughout history.
