Joe Rosenthal’s iconic photograph “Raising the Flag on Iwo” is so far considered as one of the most powerful snaps of warfare. After graduating from University of San Francisco, he joined the Associated Press (AP) and accompanied the United States Marine Corps in “Pacific Theater of Operations.” (Source: Top 10 War Photographers, http://topyaps.com/top-10-war-photographers/)
