Mount Suribachi -(Hurricane Charley Revision)


Most people know the Joe Rosenthal's photo of Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima. I know every single Marine combat correspondent and combat photographer knows the story. My buddy Eason (who just got out of a 4-year stint as a combat photographer) took me looking for a shot I need of a Honda jet ski around Daytona Beach today, no luck. But I did get a drive-by shot of these guys planting a palm tree with their heroic green thumbs. What Luck.
