Charles Lindberg was the last surviving member of the group of Marines that raised the initial flag atop Mount Suribachi, the first time the flag had been planted on Japanese soil. Fearing it was so small it would be taken as a souvenir, a commander ordered the original flag removed. When a bigger one went up four hours later--and photographer Joe Rosen...
