Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
Well now that we had a question about the second most famous flag raising in WWII, how 'bout one about the most famous flag raising? I'm sure most of you know that Joe Rosenthal shot the famous photograph of the American Flag being hoisted upon Mt. Suribachi, but what was the name of the man who filmed the flag raising?
The video can be seen here:

He walked into a cave that was believed to have been "secured." His body was never recovered.

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
Ha!! Unfortunately my friend I am not that creative, so I will leave the questions to someone else until I come up with something, as my mind is drawing a blank.
Please proceed.

Sorry Skipper, I've been working on a new job and have been quite busy recently. I'd be honored if you would be the Quiz Commander and ask the next question for me.
