A weathered American flag flies above a marker for the 77th Infantry Division, identifiable by its Statue of Liberty insignia, on Ie Shima during 1945. The 77th Division led the assault to capture Ie Shima and later buried war correspondent Ernie Pyle, who was killed there on April 18, 1945. This photograph captures a quiet, symbolic moment amid the aftermath of the Pacific campaign. Project: 218239
