First it really happened. Then Joe Rosenthal had them redo it. Maybe he left his lens cap on the first time. But nobody cares. I don't. Threes enough "truth" in it for me and everybody." Easy there, Mark. Rosenthal didn't do anything but snap the photo. He didn't have "them redo it" at all. He was just heading to the top of the hill as the second flag was raised. The event is sacred to the Marines and the Navy so we like people to get it right when they repeat it.
