Fox News
On this day in 1945, six U.S. Marines raised the American flag over the island of Iwo Jima on the fourth day of what would become over a month long brutal battle.
Marines initially invaded Iwo Jima on Feb. 19, 1945, as part of the U.S. island-hopping campaign in the Pacific, and it took four days to gain the summit of Suribachi, according to a Department of Defense report.
