Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson?

well, there's the one of the Iraqi girl with the blue eyes (think she's Iraqi), the one of Iwo Jima, and that Che Guevara photo, but none fit the description.

rlcline76 · 04-09-2008, 10:57 AM

I also thought it might be the marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima

kathywithbirds · 04-09-2008, 10:59 AM

oh, wait a minute... association problem. Saw other answers adn assumed it was two people int eh pic.

Are we talking about the Iwo Jima pic of soldiers raising the American flag?

DING DING... Thats the first part of the question... now who can get the second part?

kathywithbirds · 04-09-2008, 11:04 AM

you want their NAMES?

Dude, you are demanding.

rlcline76 · 04-09-2008, 11:17 AM

Well, I did google it based on the one name I did know, Ira Hayes...the rest of the crew: Mike Strank, Harlon Block, Franklin Sousley, Rene Gagnon, & John Bradley. It looked like only 4 people, but there were 2 on the other side helping when the photo was snapped.

correct!!!!!
rlcline wins!!!! This photo was shot by Joe Rosenthal, and was actually the SECOND flag raising on iwo jima. An officer thought the flag was to small so sent up a second larger flag. Rene Gagnon, John Bradley, and Ira Hayes were the only soldiers out of the Six that made it through Iwo Jima.

BONUS
Name the photgrapher who shot the first photo of the Iwo Jima flag raising

sorry just trying to make some fun...

I'm guessing I will come up short on this one. I've been going through my WWII books and looking, but have nothing specifically on it.
