The Photograph That Carried a Thousand Hearts (1945)
On February 23, 1945, four brutal days after U.S. forces landed on Iwo Jima, Marines reached the summit of Mount Suribachi and raised an American flag. The second flag-raising that afternoon was captured by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal, creating one of the most recognizable images of World War II.
The photo has the clean certainty of a finale, but the battle didn’t end there, not even close. Fighting continued for weeks. That’s part of what makes the image so haunting: it looks like victory, yet it’s really a snapshot of endurance, six figures bracing together against gravity, wind, and the unseen weight of what still lay ahead.
In time, the moment took on a second life: a symbol in posters, memorials, and memory itself. But on that day, on that ash, black island, it was simply a team effort, one small burst of motion on a ridge line, caught forever.
