One of the top three most popular films of 1949, this movie features one of the most prized possessions of the U.S. Marine Corps and the Museum—the second flag raised on Mt. Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima during WWII. The original flag was used in the scene where three of the actual flag-raisers present actor John Wayne with the folded flag.
