This Day in History: 1911-10-09

Joe Rosenthal, photographer for The Associated Press, is born on this day in 1911.   Rosenthal won the Pulitzer Prize for his photo of the Marines who, on Feb. 23, 1945, raised the US flag on Iwo Jima.  With typical modesty, Rosenthal would  say “I took the picture, the Marines took Iwo Jima.”^[
