The spirit of the Marines was immortalized four days after the initial landings. On February 23, 1945 atop of Mount Suribachi on the southern end of the island photographer Joe Rosenthal captured the image of six Marines, raising an unfurling American flag. The image appeared in the American Sunday newspaper editions two days later on February 25, 1945; in today’s terminology, it immediately went viral.
