Bob Campbell / U.S. Marine Corp History Division

feb. 23, 1945. U.S. marines from the 28th regiment of the fifth division posed for a group photo after capturing the 550-foot mt. suribachi on iwo jima. this photo had always stood out to me because it’s not the most iconic of the battle of iwo jima, but it serves as a reminder to smile at the victories— and not forget the friends who helped you along the way.
