Rosenthal, Joe
▪ 2007
Joseph John Rosenthal  American photographer (b. Oct. 9, 1911, Washington, D.C.—d. Aug. 20, 2006, Novato, Calif.), captured the iconic image of five Marines and a navy corpsman hoisting a large American flag on Mt. Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima on Feb. 23, 1945, near the end of World War II. The photograph, which became a symbol of national patriotism, earned him a Pulitzer Prize. It was reproduced on postage stamps and posters and was replicated as a statue in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Though some controversy surrounded the actual circumstances during which the photo was taken—some believed the event had been staged—Rosenthal insisted that the moment was authentic. After the war he worked for the San Francisco Chronicle until retiring in 1981.
