The original image was taken by Joe Rosenthal on February 23rd on top of Mount Suribachi. It depicts 6 marines lifting to American flag at the top of the mountain during the Battle of Iwo Jima. 3 of the 6 marines were later killed in action and the remaining 3 became celebrities when the returned from the war. Joe Rosenthal the photographer was awarded a Pulitzer prize for taking the photo. It is an iconic image from world war two and has been adapted numerous times. The illustrator of this poster was C.C. Beall who was known for drawing comics and advertisements. As it happened, the 7th War Loan surpassed all expectations, as over $156 billion was raised.
