This story follows the lives of the six soldiers who raised the flag at Iwo Jima during World War II, an image that became a iconic symbol of hope. The narrative shifts between the brutal fighting on the island and the subsequent government tour that brought the three surviving men home to be hailed as heroes, a title they felt they didn't deserve.
