Taken during the WWII battle of Iwo Jima, this photo raised the spirits of Americans at war and, nearly 80 years later, 
still symbolises our nation's stand against tyranny.

Click on the button to sign a petition to name a US Navy warship for photographer Joe Rosenthal.

This photo is the reason Americans know the name Iwo Jima. But how many know the name of the man who took it in the midst of the battle in 1945?
Or know how it raise​d the spirits of Americans on the battlefield and on the Homefront?  Or that it helped raise the money needed to win World War II?  Sign the petition to honor the photographer with his name on a US Navy warship, the USS Joe Rosenthal. Next year, 2025, is the 80th anniversary of the battle, the photo, and the end of WWII. Now is the time to remember and honor San Francisco photographer Joe Rosenthal.
