Started to post Challenger explosion but couldn't ....

I don't see much of anybody being able to post 9/11 footage, either. Some stuff just hurts too hard.

Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima is a historic photograph taken on February 23, 1945, by Joe Rosenthal. It depicts five United States Marines and a U.S. Navy corpsman raising the flag of the United States atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II.

Classic!!

Fascinating circumstances of that photo. And, for a long time, it was not known that the photo was posed. It was not spontaneous. It happened and then was staged again for the photo.

Also interesting is what happened to the soldiers as a result of the photo.

I guess we can't post the picture of the little children running down the road after being bombed with napalm.

Unless you end run with a link, as I did.

Read about her today.

She's an incredible person.

'Flower Power' ~ one of the catch phrases of the counterculture movement during the late 1960s & early 1970s as a symbol of passive resistance and non-violence ideology. It is rooted in the opposition movement to the Vietnam War. This picture shows a hippie putting a flower in the gun barrel of a national guardsman at an anti-Vietnam rally (1960's). Specific details unknown.
