This picture that was shown in class has a very strong meaning to any person that looks at it. The similarities are quite astounding, with Americans lifting a flag over an already destroyed location. During Iwo Jima, the Marines are raising the flag on top of Mount Suribachi during World War II, but the second picture shows firefighters raising the flag over the rubble from the World Trade Center Towers after the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Both pictures show a sign of strength, with the Marines being able to complete a mission and help the Allies advance in the War, and the firefighters being able to fight on even after so many precious lives were lost on that day.
