American veteran Theodore Fiedler(L) returns a Japanese flag to Yoshie Nakane, a relative of a Japanese veteran, during a memorial service for the battle of Iwo Jima island in 1995. Generations of schoolchildren who learned about Iwo Jima, scene of one of the bloodiest Pacific battles of World War II, now have a new name to remember -- "Iwo To."
U.S. Corpsmen carry a wounded Marine on a stretcher to an evacuation boat on the beach at Iwo Jima while other Marines huddle in a foxhole during the invasion of the Japanese Volcano Island stronghold in this file photo of Feb. 25, 1945. A search team is on the island looking for a cave where the Marine combat photographer who filmed the famous World War II flag raising 62 years ago is believed to have been killed in battle nine days later, military officials said Friday, June 22, 2007. The team, from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, based at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii, is on Iwo Jima looking for the remains of Sgt. Willam H. Genaust and 'as many other American servicemen as they can find,' JPAC spokesman Lt. Col. Mark Brown told The Associated Press.
Charles Lindberg, the Marine who raised the first American flag at Iwo Jima during WWII, is shown in St. Paul, Minn., in a Thursday, March 2, 2006 file photo. Lindberg died Sunday, June 25, 2007, at Fairview Southdale hospital in the Minneapolis suburb of Edina, said John Pose, director of the Morris Nilsen Funeral Home in Richfield, Minn. He was 86.

U.S. Marines of the 28th Regiment, 5th Division, raise the American flag atop Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima, on Friday, Feb. 23, 1945. Strategically located only 660 miles from Tokyo, the Pacific island became the site of one of the bloodiest, most famous battles of World War II against Japan. In a neglected vault buried under New York's Rockefeller Center, a musty, hot space with little room between rows of rusted-shut file cabinets, The Associated Press found pieces of history. The unearthing of thousands of documents, fragments of the 161-year history of the news cooperative, led to the publication of a new history of the AP, the first since the outbreak of World War II.
