The most memorable and ionic moment during the battle of Iwo Jima was the raising of the American flag by five united states marines and one united states navy corpsman. This was captured through the lens of a photographer. This photo was insanely popular and headline all over America. The photo was more than a photo. It was a message to the American people. It gave the American people hope that we can and are winning the war. Gave them a reason to believe in the cause they were fighting for and that they needed the peoples help to fund the war.

Jeremiah O’Brien. The S.S. Jeremiah O’Brien is the most important landmark for us a citizens to preserve for the future generations because it represents the American will to prevail.

In October 2011, the United Nations announced that the world's population had reached 7 billion. By the year 2050, the UN predicts that the population will increase to about 9.6 billion. Our rapidly growing population has many concerned about whether or not the Earth can sustain more than 7 billion people. Many people are worried about what the human carrying capacity is and what will happen if we exceed that.
