Outside of a Dog, #81

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx



In 1945, photographer Joe Rosenthal won a Pulitzer Prize for the now-famous photograph entitled "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima, (seen here)" the photo that eventually became the USMC War Memorial in Washington, D.C(seen here).
