A few classes ago this image was brought up and it really caught my eye. Though I have seen on numerous occasions the image of the marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima and I watched on T.V as the firefighters raised the flag after 9/11 I never put the two together. However when looking at them side by side they seem incredibly similar. These were both historic events in America history and the fact that they each have a very similar picture is quite interesting. I am glad this image was brought up in class because otherwise I would never have put the two together and seen how eerily similar they are.
