Michael Strank
Michael Strank (November 10, 1919 – March 1, 1945) was a United States Marine Corps sergeant who fought in the Pacific during World War II and was killed in action during the battle of Iwo Jima.
He was one of six servicemen photographed raising an American flag on top of Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima on February 23, 1945 which became one of the most famous photographs of the war. He was killed a few days after the flag raising on March 1.
== Early life ==
Michael Strank was born in Jarabina, a small Lemkos-inhabited village in Czecho-Slovakia (now in Slovakia). He was one of three sons of Vasil Strank (later, in the United States, known as Charles Strank) and Martha Grofikova, natives of the village. Vasil Strank moved to Franklin Borough (near Johnstown, Pennsylvania, United States), found work in the coal mines for the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and brought his family to Pennsylvania three years later, when he could pay for their voyage. Strank attended the public schools of Franklin Borough and graduated from high school in 1937. He joined the Civilian Conservation Corps, served for 18 months, and afterwards became a Pennsylvania state highway laborer.
