for Saturday, February 23, 2019
Four days after the Battle of Iwo Jima began, Marines raised the US Flag atop Mount Suribachi on Feb. 23, 1945. The US Flag may have been raised upon the highest point on the island of Iwo Jima, but another month of intense fighting would continue until the battle was over on March 26th - the Marines had secured the island
