A few years back when I read "Flags of Our Fathers" I reminded myself to always recall the names of the six Marines who raised the second flag. Three never made it off the island alive: Mike Strank, Harlon Block, and Franklin Sousley. The three that did were John Bradley, Rene Gagnon and Ira Hayes. I remember these six in order to honor all the others.
