That day, photographer Joe Rosenthal of The Associated Press hurriedly snapped a photo of six Marines who'd been ordered to raise a flag atop Mount Suribachi, the island's highest point. Appearing in newspapers nationwide, the photo became so popular it was made the centerpiece of a successful war bonds drive that included the six service members believed to have been in the photo.

The flag-raising Rosenthal captured actually was the second one on Mount Suribachi that day, as a small American flag was ordered replaced with a larger one. The separate flag-raisings and the fog of war led to some confusion around the identities of the six men seen in the photo. In and , the Marine Corps corrected the identities of two men long thought to have been in the photograph after being presented with new research collected by amateur historians.

Rene Gagnon had helped carry larger flag up the mountain. In modern Japanese kitchens, the suribachi and surikogi are much more refined, and usually purchased as a set. And the best technique for using the surikogi is to hold it with two hands, one at the top of the dowel and one at the bottom, and rotate around the mortar.

For many gourmet cooks, implements like the suribachi and surikogi can be used to make dishes from multiple cuisines…Japanese shiraae dishes, Middle Eastern hummus and muhamara , Indian garam masala, and even Moroccan harissa! No matter what style of food you enjoy, the Japanese suribachi and surikogi are drool-worthy kitchen wonders. The Suribachi almost never traveled with the fleet: it was way too risky.

It was an ammunition supply ship carrying massive amounts of fuel oil, and extreme munitions ordnance: like nuclear weapons, that can not be confirmed or denied. The ship housed Seamen ,Firemen, and Gunners Mates. There were no Marines. The ship was commanded by Captain Lynch, and the fleet commanding officer was Commodore Taylor. A news crew arrived to film an unrep of a few gallons of paint. There was a heavy storm, and the original Flight Crew refused to fly. An alternate Flight Crew was ordered into service, and the helicopter went down with the Reporters, and all hands.

The next day Commodore Taylor came across to visit our ship by Bosun's chair. The Seamen in charge of tethering the rope dropped him in the drink, and tried to drown him. No charges were ever filed. On 8 June , the ship was sold for scrapping. Military Wiki Explore. Yall remember Cuba lol. So hope to hear from you guys its been to long. Luker, Jason. Grant, Robert. Bogner, Todd.

Looking for shipmates during this time that I may have served with. Gonzalez, Juan Carlos.
