Michael Strank
Michael Strank is a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps who was killed in the battle of Iwo Jima during World War II. He was among the Marines to lift the second American flag on Mount Suribachi on February 23, 1945, as seen in photographer Joe Rosenthal's iconic, Raising Flag on Iwo Jima. . Of the six Marines envisioned, Strank was the only one correctly identified from the start; The other five people assigned the wrong location or named Marines aren't actually in that particular photo. The first flag hung on Mount Suribachi at the southern end of Iwo Jima was said to be too small. Later that day, Strank, a platoon leader of the Rifle Company of the 5th Marine Division, was ordered to climb a mountain with three marines to raise a larger flag. Since there was no photograph of the first flag raising, the second image of the raising of the flag became famous and widely reproduced.
