Description: "IWO JIMA, THE FIRST FLAG" by Ron Stark February 23, 1945 . . . Atop volcanic Mt. Suribachi, Marines of the 3rd Platoon, Easy Company, 28th Regiment, 5th Marine Division, hoist the first American flag over Iwo Jima. As Old Glory breaks the skyline, a tremendous roar of shouts and whistles will emerge from the Marines on the beaches and the sailors at sea. Later, this flag will be lowered and a replacement raised. Although a photo of the second flag would be cherished by the home front, the first flag belonged to the heroes of Iwo Jima. AUTOGRAPHS: Hand-signed by Iwo Jima Marines Chuck Lindberg (depicted in the scene) and bonus signer Don Whipple, who witnessed the flag being raised on Iwo, along with artist Ron Stark. EDITION: Main Edition of 300 limited-edition prints. Includes signed Certificate of Authenticity. SIZE: Overall: 32" x 22.5" Image: 28" x 16.5" SHIPPING: Ships rolled in a tube with full insurance.
