Flags of our Fathers takes place during World War II these men that are so symbolic in the story are marines that are fighting in Jima Japan which is a very violent battle. The thing that these six men learn is the roles of leaders. It's hard for them to go back to there home country an fill the roles of hero's. This is a very big part of the United States history, this one symbolic picture of these men end up being a very big symbol toward the history of the United States. Looking at what these men did for this country, it's a pretty big thing. They ended up being leaders to people they didn't even know. It is a very big part of the United States history.

There ended up being three survivors out of the six that raised the flag on top of Mount Suribachi, they brought the three survivors back to the United States to raise funds for war. This was bringing hope to people of the United States after just coming out of a Great Depression. This was making them have a very big hero status to the people of this country. After awhile they started having problems with each other over the hero status. It was hard for them to keep up with the status that they were given. This wasn't there choice to be the hero's that everyone looked up to after the Great Depression.
