I love stories like this as they make the humanity of war more real and present.
I heard something to the effect that the picture was staged, as in they raised the flag but the photog didn't capture it, so they took it down and re-did it? Is that true, or has anyone heard about that?

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." (M. Scott Peck)
