The document discusses two iconic flag-raising photos - one from 9/11 of firefighters raising a flag at Ground Zero, and one from Iwo Jima of Marines raising a flag atop Mt. Suribachi during WWII. It provides historical context for both photos, noting how the 9/11 photo symbolized fortitude during a time of devastation, and how the Iwo Jima photo became a symbol of American military heroism but gave a falsely optimistic view of how long the war would last. The document also examines the photos through the lenses of history, religion, and fine arts.

5. Thomas E. Franklin’s Firefighter photo
He saw firefighters “fumbling” with an American flag near where the Twin Towers had
fallen and fired off a burst of photos.
The photo of the three firefighters raising that flag in a show of fortitude and respect,
against a backdrop of unfathomable devastation, has become one of the most identifiable
images taken on September 11, 2001. It permeates social media each anniversary. It’s been
recreated for calendars and ended up on shirts. It was even made into a postage stamp.
6. 9/11 raising of the flag
● The flag came from the yacht Star of America, owned by Shirley Dreifus and her late husband Spiros E.
Kopelakis, which was docked in the yacht basin in the Hudson River at the World Financial Center.
● The firefighters didn’t know they were being photographed.
● It remains one of the rare uplifting images that emerged from the attacks, in which 19 men
killed 2,977 people in New York, Arlington and Pennsylvania, injured more than 6,000 and
caused lasting trauma to millions
7. Joe Rosenthal’s MArines raising flag
taken by Joe Rosenthal of the Associated Press on February 23, 1945, was first published in Sunday
newspapers two days later and reprinted in thousands of publications. It was the only photograph
to win the Pulitzer Prize for Photography in the same year as its publication, and was later used for
the construction of the Marine Corps War Memorial in 1954, which was dedicated to honor all
Marines who died in service since 1775. The memorial, sculpted by Felix de Weldon, is located in
Arlington Ridge Park,near the Ord-Weitzel Gate to Arlington National Cemetery and the
Netherlands Carillon. The photograph has come to be regarded in the United States as one of the
most significant and recognizable images of World War II.
8. MArines Raising of Flag
● 3 out of 6 would be killed in battle
● 5th marine division
● the Marines advanced inch by inch under heavy fire
from Japanese artillery and suffered suicidal
charges from the Japanese infantry. Many of the
Japanese defenders were never seen and remained
underground manning artillery until they were
blown apart by a grenade or rocket, or incinerated
by a flame thrower.
● On February 19, 1945, the United States invaded
Iwo Jima as part of its island-hopping strategy to
defeat Japan. Iwo Jima originally was not a
target
● Iwo Jima, a tiny volcanic island located in the Pacific
about 700 miles southeast of Japan, was to be a base for
fighter aircraft and an emergency-landing site for
bombers. On February 19, 1945, after three days of heavy
naval and aerial bombardment, the first wave of U.S.
Marines stormed onto Iwo Jima’s inhospitable shores.
9. MArines Raising Flag
The raising of the national colors immediately caused a loud cheering reaction from the
Marines, sailors, and coast guardsmen on the beach below and from the men on the ships
near the beach. The loud noise made by the servicemen and blasts of the ship horns alerted
the Japanese, who up to this point had stayed in their cave bunkers.
Schrier (leader of those ones who placed flag) and his men near the flagstaff then came
under fire from Japanese troops, but the Marines quickly eliminated the threat.
10. MArines Raising Flag
By March 3, U.S. forces controlled all three
airfields on the island, and on March 26 the
last Japanese defenders on Iwo Jima were
wiped out. Only 200 of the original 22,000
Japanese defenders were captured alive.
More than 6,000 Americans died taking
Iwo Jima, and some 17,000 were
wounded.
history
11. 9/11 Flag raising
meaning
● symbolize the fortitude of first responders
● became a symbol of hope and rebuilding in
the aftermath of the terrorist attacks
● “In the darkest hours of 9/11 when our
country was at risk of losing all hope, the
raising of this American flag by our first
responders helped reaffirm that the nation
would endure, would recover and rebuild,
that we would always remember and honor all
of those who lost their lives and risk their
own to save others,” said former 9/11
Memorial President Joe Daniels.
12. Marines raising flag
meaning
● timeless symbol of valor and unity
● The home front’s hopeful
expectations, raised so triumphantly
(but also misleadingly) by the Iwo
Jima photo, began to plummet in
the face of the grinding
continuation of warfare
● American military heroism
15. History
On the evening of September11, 2001, three firefighters hoisted an American
flag above the scorched ruins and persistent fires of the World Trade Center
site, an iconic moment captured in an enduring image by Thomas E. Franklin,
a photographerformerly affiliated with The Record of Bergen County, New Jersey.
The photo of the flag-raising came to symbolize the fortitude of first
responders and became a symbol of hope and rebuilding in the aftermath of the
terrorist attacks. But soon after its raising, the flag, which had been taken
from a yacht moored at a nearby dock, disappeared from Ground Zero.
New York City officials tried to track it down, but the flag’s whereabouts were
unknown until late 2014, according to the New York Times. After the mystery
of the missing flag had been featured on a program on H2, a spinoff of the
History Channel, a former Marine, who viewed the program, dropped off the flag
at a fire station in Everett, Washington.
16. history
The flag gave americans hope after the
attacks, it was a sense of that everything was
going to be ok after a trying time.
AMEricans gathered and the usa became an
united nation after the 9/11 attacks. After a
trail of error, americans was looking for
hope something to reassure that it was
going to be ok and we will recover. And it
gave reassurances that we could rebuild and
be better than ever.
17. religion
***Gave a sense of Faith and Doubt
● both believers and unbelievers ask not only where was God
● People lost someone close to them: a son, a daughter, a son-in-law, a
husband, a brother, and close friends.
● For some of them the traditional answers about God's love and
omniscience must -- and do -- suffice. For others,
● their losses seem to have shattered their conceptions of God; these
images of God now seem inadequate and they are delivered into that
"dark night of the soul"
● "This doesn't make sense," and the question,
● an Anglican priest feels that the face of God for him is now "a blank
slate"; a rabbi can no longer counsel the bereaved with homilies about
God's mysterious "plan" that allows some to be saved and otherskilled;
● an atheist finds that his belief in humanity is threatened and his
foundations shaken; an agnostic suddenly yearns for faith.
18. Fine Arts
The photo of the three firefighters raising that flag in a show of fortitude and respect,
against a backdrop of unfathomable devastation, has become one of the most identifiable
images taken on September 11, 2001. It permeates social media each anniversary. It’s been
recreated for calendars and ended up on shirts. It was even made into a postage stamp.
Franklin was running out of digital space, forced to repeatedly delete images to make room
for more. Franklin was down to only one camera during his time in lower Manhattan after
he had been jostled by a police officer and one of his cameras hit a lamp post while still in
Jersey City.
19. Things wasn’t meant to be.. All
things was not looking promising
for the photo to happen
20. Wasn’t suppose to be in new york
Camera damaged
Networking lead him to gather access
3 other photographers got same image just different
angles
22. history
many people do not know is that this iconic photo actually shows the second flag to
be raised on Iwo Jima that day.
A 40-man combat patrol, led by 1st Lt. Harold G. Schrier, was the first American
unit to reach the summit of the mountain on Feb. 23. These men were from the 2nd
Battalion, 28th Marines, and they carried with them a U.S. flag taken from the USS
Missoula, a tank transport ship that delivered troops and cargo to Iwo Jima. Earlier,
Schrier had been handed the flag by his batallion's adjutant and was told, "If you
get to the top, put it up."
he flag from the USS Missoula was raised by Schrier and two other Marines at
around 10:30 a.m. local time.
"The best memory I've got is the day that we gave a flag off our ship to a lieutenant.
That was the first flag that went up on Mount Suribachi," said Tom Price, a U.S.
Navy veteran who was serving on the USS Missoula
23. History
"We watched them go up the mountain and raise the flag about 500 yards [457 meters]
from the ship. There were hundreds of ships and everyone blew their sirens and horns.
Everybody cheered and it was really something because the flag from the Missoula was the
very first to be raised on Japanese territory," Price said. "We were very proud."
24. History
By the end of World War II, Rosenthal's photograph had
become famous worldwide. The photograph, which won the
Pulitzer Prize in 1945, served as inspiration for the United
States Marine Corps War Memorial, in Arlington Ridge Park,
Virginia. The memorial was unveiled on Nov. 10, 1954, in the
presence of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1961,
President John F. Kennedy proclaimed that the U.S. flag
should fly over the memorial 24 hours a day.
25. Religion
The Famous Iwo Jima Flag-
Raising Photo Captured an
Authentic Moment—But Gave
Many Americans a False
Impression
26. Religion
represented the climax of a long series of
triumphant flag-raising images in American news
coverage of the Pacific theater of World War II. At
first, these images raised the home front’s hopes
for a relatively speedy end to the war.
27. Religion
However, the Battle of Iwo Jima itself was not even over. It raged on for another
month after the flag-raising, through late March, and three of the men in
Rosenthal’s photo died in the fighting
Then came the dispiriting Battle of Okinawa, which lasted nearly three months
and was one of the bloodiest of the Pacific war
The home front’s hopeful expectations, raised so triumphantly (but also
misleadingly) by the Iwo Jima photo, began to plummet in the face of the
grinding continuation of warfare.
28. Over the last 75 years, the photo’s stature has continued to grow
But it has also become decontextualized.
It has morphed into an all-purpose symbol of American military heroism,
losing its original association with an overly optimistic narrative about the
end of the war in the Pacific.
the photo does accurately convey the bravery and sense of purpose of the
flag-raisers.
