Months earlier John Bradley had been one of the six men immortalized in Joe Rosenthal's one-in-a-million photograph of the flag raising atop Iwo Jima's Mount Suribachi. After the war, Tibbets went home to Columbus, Ohio, to eventually run a corporate-jet service and shun publicity. Bradley returned home to Antigo, Wis., to become a funeral director and community pillar. He never told war stories...
...been nearly 40 years since John Wayne, portraying Marine Sergeant John M. Stryker, was cut down by a sniper's bullet atop Mount Suribachi in Sands of Iwo Jima. But the Leatherneck values of courage, loyalty and discipline that Wayne came to personify still survive in recruiting offices around the country. Just last week in Atlanta, even as the Marines reeled from the Moscow spy scandal, Michael Dunn, 20, was ready to sign up. Like generations before him, Dunn says he wants to be a Marine "because I need the discipline." Dunn, a sophomore at Morris Brown College, explains...
...small bits of strategic land in wartime. In a 36-day battle that ranked as one of the bloodiest and bitterest of the Pacific war, 6,821 Americans and all but 212 of the 22,000 Japanese defenders died there in 1945.

Their feat was commemorated on a bronze tablet laid atop Suribachi, with the U.S. flag flying above it. Now the flag has been lowered as a concession to Japanese sensibilities, and in its place...
...Cinema section [Feb. 2], you state that Joe Rosenthal's photo shows six marines raising the Stars and Stripes on the summit of Mount Suribachi. I think you have done the U.S. Navy an injustice. One of the flag raisers, who survived the bloody battle and was medically discharged in 1945, was Pharmacist's Mate Second Class John Henry Bradley, U.S.N. He was serving as a hospital corpsman attached to a Marine combat unit. In view of the outstanding job these hospital corpsmen have done in the past, it seems only proper, from a Marine point of view...
...Outsider (Universal-International). The most famous photograph of World War II was Joe Rosenthal's Pulitzer Prize picture of six marines planting the Stars and Stripes on the summit of Mount Suribachi, the highest point on Iwo Jima. Three of the marines were later killed on Iwo; the three who survived became national heroes. But one of the survivors, a Pima Indian named Ira Hayes, was killed by that snapshot as surely, if not as swiftly, as by a bullet...
