US Senator celebrates Army birthday with photo of Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima
Max Hauptman - Yesterday 5:06 PM
It’s the Army’s birthday today. Happy 247th birthday, Army!
Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) got in on the well-wishing action this morning with a birthday message that included a photo of one of the branch’s most iconic moments — raising the flag at Iwo Jima. Err. Wait a minute…
Here’s the catch, though. Those were Marines in that photo. There’s even a statue of that very same moment at the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. (Not to mention that it is one of the most iconic Marine Corps photos in history.)
The image was quickly replaced with one that managed to include only Army soldiers in it, but the original was captured for posterity before being taken down.
This kind of stuff tends to happen quite often when it comes to social media and birthday wishes for military branches — presumably aided by a hasty Google search with the keywords “Happy” “birthday” “soldiers” “America.”
