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.

  • Flags of Our Fathers: a Novel by James Bradley with Ron Powers by Spencer Green, Staff Writer
    ~ ________ Issue ~ http://www.elsegundousd.com/eshs/bayeagle0607/NovembeP25FlagsO... Flags of our Fathers: A Novel by James Bradley with Ron Powers by Spencer Green, Staff Writer “There are no great men. Just great challenges which ordinary men, out of necessity, are forced by circumstances to meet.” Admiral William F. “Bull” Hawlsey's words are the theme of Flags Of Our Fathers. Flags Of Our Fathers is not a book about heroes; instead, it is an account of six ordinary men doing what they had to in order to help their brothers in arms. No doubt, you've seen the picture before: the picture of six men raising a flag over Iwo Jima during World War II. James Bradley and Ron Powers have finally told the story of the six men in this iconic image. Bradley's father, John, is one of these men, one of the flag raisers who became instant heroes once the picture got back to America. While the Marines and Navy personnel continued to fight on Iwo Jima, the image began hitting newsstands around the country. This picture instilled hope in Americans, inspiring a country that was tired of fighting. The figures in the picture became national heroes, despite the fact that half of them were killed in combat soon after the famous picture was taken. Bradley tells the reader of how his father, John "Doc" Bradley, and the two other survivors, Rene Gagnon and Ira Hayes, were forced to go around the country to raise money for the government. This was painful for the three men, as they had been forced to see many of their friends die horribly in battle, and they felt as if their dead and wounded comrades deserved the glory and fame more than them.

  • 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.

  • The Imperial Cruise: a True Story of Empire and War Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    THE IMPERIAL CRUISE: A TRUE STORY OF EMPIRE AND WAR PDF, EPUB, EBOOK James Bradley | 608 pages | 21 Jan 2010 | Little, Brown & Company | 9780316072687 | English | New York, United States The Imperial Cruise: A True Story of Empire and War PDF Book View all 4 comments. Teddy Roosevelt comes across as a bumbling politician with deep-rooted prejudices, apparently completely in vogue at the time as evidenced by popular press and academics who spoke authoritatively on things like the Teutonic Anglo-Saxon superior ability to govern themselves relative to "savages" which included Native Americans, Central America and all of Asia apparently. But reading this book helps in understanding the mindset of those leaders and opportunists who would drag us, through lies, misdirecton and propoganda into conflicts on the far side of the world. As soon as I finished this book, I bought copies for numerous people, and signed up to give a summary of it to a book group. While he does have some legitimate points to make, his completely arbitrary, almost-hysterical point of view renders them not only moot but invisible. What Secret? But I don't see any righteous indignation about any of the other beliefs of the time that turned out to be wrong, and there wer I liked James Bradley's earlier books, but this one's a dud. Examples, snide remarks, appalled declaiming, etc.. In its after effects a conquest may be fraught either with evil or with good for mankind, according to the comparative worth of the conquering and conquered peoples. There are certainly interesting parts of the book.

  • This Is a True Story
    This is a true story..... Each year I am hired to go to Washington, DC, with the eighth grade class from Clinton, WI where I grew up, to videotape their trip. I greatly enjoy visiting our nation's capitol, and each year I take some special memories back with me. This fall's trip was especially memorable. On the last night of our trip, we stopped at the Iwo Jima memorial. This memorial is the largest bronze statue in the world and depicts one of the most famous photographs in history -- that of the six brave soldiers raising the American Flag at the top of a rocky hill on the island of Iwo Jima, Japan, during WW II Over one hundred students and chaperones piled off the buses and headed towards the memorial.

Come gather around, Cheese heads, and I will tell you a story.' (It was James Bradley who just happened to be in Washington , DC , to speak at the memorial the following day. He was there that night to say good night to his dad, who had passed away. He was just about to leave when he saw the buses pull up. I videotaped him as he spoke to us, and received his permission to share what he said from my videotape. It is one thing to tour the incredible monuments filled with history in Washington, DC, but it is quite another to get the kind of insight we received that night.) When all had gathered around, he reverently began to speak.
