Took this photo:
best to you
To their credit, Rosenthal's AP editors in World War II instantly recognized the drama and majesty of his photograph. The photo was transmitted by radio from Iwo Jima to Guam, where the AP had established a bureau. When Rosenthal's photo rolled off the printer, the senior photo editor exclaimed, "there's one for the ages." Today, a similar photo would be tossed in the trash, with an admonition to the photographer to show more "balance" between U.S. forces and their adversaries.
happy 94th birthday wishes
Happy 94th to him.
