The Story Behind the Poster
Camp Sousley is named in honor of Marine PFC Franklin Runyon Sousley — one of the six Marines who raised the second American flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima on February 23, 1945. Born in Hill Top, Kentucky, Sousley graduated from Fleming County High School in 1943 before enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps. He served with Company E, 2nd Battalion, 28th Marines, 5th Marine Division — and became part of one of the most iconic moments in American military history. He was killed in action on March 21, 1945, only weeks after the flag raising. Congress later formally recognized his service in legislation honoring his sacrifice.
