Rosenthal had a better ‘delivery’ service than SGT Lou Lowery...
Lowery took the ORIGINAL photo and the 2nd one was ‘staged’.
No the second one wasn’t “staged”. The first flag was taken down and the second larger flag was erected in it’s place.
Rosenthal’s photo wasn’t staged. The 1st flag raised on Suribachi was small; that flag was ordered to be replaced by a larger one.
