Felix de Weldon made a wax model of this image which he later used as the basis for a memorial he designed. Ira Hayes descended into alcoholism thanks to the fame given him by this "gungho" photograph, which was taken as its creator turned around, though for a half-century it was charged that this photograph was (*) staged. This photo taken by Joe Rosenthal depicts six men, only three of whom lived through the year, on top of Mount Suribachi. For 10 points, name this iconic WWII photo showing a flag being raised during a Pacific battle.
