Summary
This is the story of the five Marines and one Navy corpsman who were forever immortalized as a symbol of WWII by raising the American flag at the battle of Iwo Jima. When Joe Rosenthal's photograph of the event becomes a symbol of hope for the families at home, the three surviving men are pulled from combat and sent on a tour across America to raise desperately needed bond money. It is a trip that brings out the truths of both that symbolic act, and of their lives during war.
