I must call you on this one.  Please provide a source.  

I have never heard this one, and I have spoken with guys who were there.  I
previously have posted the E-Mail address for Ben Frank, and I would
suggest you contact him before spreading what seems to be both a falsehood
and an insulting attack on the integrity and courage of the Marines who did
both flag raisings.
