A great American from the "Greatest Generation." I registered him on the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. 0n 5/5/2018 as one of the Marines who flew the first flag on Mt. Suribachi Iwo Jima on February 23, 1945. The second flag raised later in the day became the most published photograph of World War II.
