i just found out 2min ago that my mother pulled out a picture of the first flag raising the pic is very fragile,from what i understand raymond mcallister took the first original picture of the flag raising and would not give it up,then a military photagrapher took the next pic ,and that is what we see today i have to believe i have the first original picture of the flag raising
my stepfather just passed on christmas eve,he was one of the men standing in the photo of the celebration of the flag raising,he will be missed very much.he did leave behind photos of the celebration
