the flag-raising rosenthal (and genaust) photographed was the replacement flag/flagstaff for the first flag/flagstaff that was raised on mount suribachi on february 23, 1945. there was some resentment from former marines of the original 40-man patrol that went up mount suribachi including by those involved with the first flag-raising, that they did not receive the recognition they deserved. these included staff sgt. lou lowery, who took the first photos of the first flag flying over mt. suribachi; charles w. lindberg, who helped tie the first american flag to the first flagpole on mount suribachi (and who was, until his death in june 2007, one of the last living persons depicted in either flag-flying scene), who complained for several years that he helped to raise the flag and "was called a liar and everything else. it was terrible" (because of all the recognition and publicity over and directed to the replacement flag-raisers and that flag-raising); and raymond jacobs, photographed with the patrol commander around the base of the first flag flying over mt. suribachi, who complained until he died in 2008 that he was still not recognized by the marine corps by name as being the radioman in the photo.
