It is the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima. Today, we remember more than 6,000 Americans killed and over 17,000 wounded in that battle. Along with one of the most enduring war photos in history of Marines raising the flag over Mount Suribachi (by photographer Joe Rosenthal), we present to you today a breathtaking slideshow of photos from the battle.
