Today’s snowflakes don’t even know what a Garand is much less be able to pick one up.

How many of these men died or were WIA before Iwo was secured? Would any snow flake be able to be in this picture?

That photo was not taken by Joe Rosenthal. That is the first flag raising on Iwo. Joe Rosenthal wasn’t there.
