Nelson Reading Level *Reading Level: Grades 4 UP Interest Level: Grades 2-8 Guided Reading Level: P Lexile™ Measure: 930 *Reading level based on the Spache Readability Formula Themes Heroism, Patriotism, Personal Courage, Loyalty, Honor, World War II, Native American History National Standards SOCIAL STUDIES: Culture; Individual Development and Identity; Individuals, Groups, and Institutions LANGUAGE ARTS: Understanding the Human Experience; Multicultural Understanding Born on the Gila River Indian Reservation in Arizona, Ira Hayes was a bashful boy who never wanted to be the center of attention. At the government-run boarding school he attended, he often felt lonely and out of place. When the United States entered World War II, Hayes joined the Marines to serve his country. He thrived at boot camp and finally felt as if he belonged. Hayes fought honorably on the Pacific front and in 1945 was sent with his battalion to Iwo Jima, a tiny island south of Japan. There he took part in the ferocious fighting to secure the island. On February 23, 1945, Hayes was one of six men who raised the American flag on the summit of Mount Suribachi at the far end of the island. A photographer for the Associated Press, Joe Rosenthal, caught the flag- raising with his camera. Rosenthal’s photo became an iconic image of American courage and is one of the best-known war pictures ever taken. The photograph also catapulted Ira Hayes into the role of national hero, a position he felt he hadn’t earned.

  • Joe Rosenthal - Iwo Jima Flag-Raising Photographer
    Joe Rosenthal - Iwo Jima Flag-Raising Photographer Everyone called Joseph John Rosenthal "Joe." It was Joe Rosenthal who took the famous flag-raising photo at Iwo Jima. Joe loved photography and wanted to join the military as a photographer. The U.S. Army turned him down, however, because he had poor eyesight. Undaunted, Joe took a job with the Associated Press and was embedded with the U.S. Marines in the Pacific Theater of Operations. Rosenthal loved "my Marines." While he was still alive, Joe was named an honorary Marine on April 13, 1996 (by then-Commandant of the Marine Corps General Charles C. Krulak). On September 15, 2006 - less than a month after he died in his sleep, at the age of 94 - Joe was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Public Service Medal by the United States Marine Corps. It includes these words: For exceptionally distinguished public service in support of the United States Navy and Marine Corps. On February 23, 1945, a bespectacled Mr. Rosenthal made a picture of five U.S. Marines and one U.S. Navy corpsman that immortalized the American Fighting spirit during World War II and became an everlasting symbol of service and sacrifice, transcending art and the ages. Mr. Rosenthal's poor eyesight prohibited him from serving in the armed services, so, he instead went to war summoning the craft he had practiced since the Great Depression. He bravely accompanied island-hopping forces in the Pacific as a civilian news photographer. On Iwo Jima, Japan, short of breath from climbing the 546-foot volcano, Mr.

  • From a Photo of War, a Statue to Remember MARIO RITTER: Welcome to the VOA Special English Program EXPLORATIONS
    04 July 2012 | MP3 at voaspecialenglish.com From a Photo of War, a Statue to Remember MARIO RITTER: Welcome to the VOA Special English program EXPLORATIONS. I’m Mario Ritter. July fourth, Independence Day in the United States, is a time of celebration. Friends and family across the country gather for food, music and activities. Fireworks light the night sky. Memories are made. Photographs preserve our family memories. Sometimes they capture the memories of a nation. This week, Steve Ember and Barbara Klein tell the story of a famous photograph from World War Two. It led the sculptor Felix de Weldon to create one of the largest free-standing bronze statues in the world. (MUSIC) STEVE EMBER: Our story is about one moment in time. Really, one-four- hundredths of a second. That is the amount of time it took Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal to capture a historic image on film. AP Joe Rosenthal's photo of Marines of the 28th Regiment of the Fifth Division raising the American flag atop Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima, on February 23, 1945 The photograph shows six men and an American flag during a battle in World War Two. Joe Rosenthal took it on February twenty-third, nineteen forty-five, on the Pacific island of Iwo Jima. Japanese forces held the island. American Marines were trying to capture it. On the fourth day of battle, Marines fought to the top of Mount Suribachi, the tallest mountain on Iwo Jima. A small American flag was sent to the top. The Marines placed the flagpole in the ground.

  • Joe Rosenthal
    JOE ROSENTHAL: 1911-2006 Photo was his fame -- his pride 'My Marines' The image of flag going up on Iwo Jima was extraordinary Kevin Leary, Chronicle Staff Writer Monday, August 21, 2006 Retired Chronicle photographer Joe Rosenthal, who won the Pulitzer Prize and international acclaim for his soul-stirring picture of the World War II flag- raising on Iwo Jima, died Sunday in Novato. Rosenthal, 94, retired from The Chronicle in 1981 after a distinguished 35- year career and many professional honors, but the flag-raising picture was his masterpiece for which he will always be remembered. The Pulitzer Committee in 1945 described the photo as "depicting one of the war's great moments," a "frozen flash of history." Rosenthal, born Oct. 9, 1911, in Washington, D.C., was found dead at about 10:45 a.m. in his bed at his home in the Atria Tamalpais Creek assisted living center. He was a 33-year-old Associated Press photographer on Feb. 23, 1945, when he captured the black-and- white image of five battle-weary Marines and a Navy corpsman struggling to raise a flag atop Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima. He took the picture on the fifth day of the furious 36-day battle that left 6,621 American dead and 19,217 wounded. All but 1,083 of the 22,000 dug-in Japanese defenders were killed before the island was secured. It was of that battle -- one of the bloodiest in Marine Corps history -- that Adm. Chester Nimitz, World War II commander of the Pacific fleet, said: "Among the Americans who served on Iwo Island, uncommon valor was a common virtue." Wartime Navy Secretary James Forrestal said of Rosenthal: "He was as gallant as the men going up that hill." The photo was an instant classic and is the best-known combat photo of World War II, and perhaps the most famous photograph ever taken.

  • 1 Unclassified the Importance Running Head: the IMPORTANCE
    ---------------------- Unclassified The Importance 1 Running head: THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING MILITARY HISTORY The Importance ofStudying Military History MSG Daniel T. Hendrex United States Army Sergeants Major Academy Class 57 SGM Scott A. Landy 6 April 2007 Unclassified -----~------- The Importance 2 Abstract In the Global War on Terrorism, we must take the time to study our past to avoid repeating mistakes in the future. Our Soldiers are not fighting our grandfather's wars. Our battlefield is unconventional and our enemies are using all tools at their disposal. One of those tools is the media which plays a major role in all armed conflicts that we undertake. The modem media bombards the public with dramatic and negative aspects of the conflict and it withers public resolve. Experiences from Vietnam, Somalia, and Iraq shape our modem battlefield and the changing landscape of contemporary warfare. The modem media is a major aspect of that landscape and can be just as vicious as any enemy we face. The Importance 3 The Importance of Studying Military History A simple picture, video clip, or editorial can have an enormous impact on the psyche of today's populace. Constant negative images sway opinion and therefore affect the military's ability to win in armed conflict. During WWII, Joe Rosenthal snapped a picture ofUnited States (US.) Marines raising a flag atop Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima on February 23, 1945. "In that moment, Rosenthal's camera recorded the soul of a nation", stated editors ofUS. Camera Magazine (Rosenthal, 1945). At that time in history, the images of war were overwhelmingly pro-American and positive which unified our nations resolve.
