scott: ap photographer joe rosenthal had summited the mountain just in time.es: he swung his camera, he got an accidental shot. that shot americans fell in love with, and that second shot has overshadowed the first flag raising. look at the photo. it's a beautiful photo. it hit the front page of "the new yorkimes," all of our newspapers. scott: ihi week. this time with news that the marines had opened an investigation into whether john bradley was in that famous photo after all. james: my father's injured in a hospital bed in hawaii two months after the battle, and the marines come to him and say, see this picture? he says, yeah, nice picture. where's that from? they could have said it from australia or sicily or whatever. they said, that's from iwo jima, that's you. he goes, oh, well, i raised a flag, i guess that's me. so, of course, he believed he was in that flag raising photo. scott: in 2002, long after john bradley had died, the marines released never-before-seen photos of that first flag raising ceremony from a new angle. james: well, you not only can s

he was a marine combat photographer and he, in fact, was part of the same unit where joe rosenthal was and, of course, we all know joe rosenthal photographed that amazing image of the five marines and navy corpsman raising the american flag up on mount suribachi in iwo jima. however, mr. beal was on the other side of the island so he wasn't able to have -- he wasn't able to see what was going on or have the opportunity to capture the image. however, ten plus years after that his opportunity came, he was sent by his paper to cover a parade in chinatown and so as he's looking around he realizes this is a pretty big parade and out of the corner of his eye he notices this little boy, tiny little boy, looking at a policeman who is just bent down talking to him. what we can't see is that behind the policeman there is a very large dragon that is part of the parade and there are lots of firecrackers all over the ground and so the policeman is just trying to warn very gently that tiny little boy to just be careful because the firecrackers are everywhere. and he's just trying to make sure that h

the photographer joe rosenthal didn't get the men's names at the time.hey were identified after some confusion and the investigation comes after two amateur historians began raising questions in a long piece from the omaha world herald. now, the photo helped lift the spirits of war weary americans when it was published in 1945. >>> a social media war erupted between the first lady and president and england over the invictus games. they're battling it out in wheelchair basketball. two hours after the obamas posted a twitter, prince harry replied with a special guest. >> message? oh, from michelle. all right. shall we watch it together. >> yes. >> hey, prince harry, remember when you told us to bring it at the invictus games. >> careful what you wish for. >> oh, really? please. >> boom. [ laughter ] >> i love that. the queen's so great. yesterday, canadian prime minister justin trudeau joined the trash talking. >> i thought i'd show our friends in the u.s. and the u.k. how canada brings it, your image es tri, prince harry, president and mrs. obama -- boom!

that is why joe rosenthal's iwo jima photograph, i gave the , i havet joe's funeral known him since 1968, to me it is still the greatest photograph ever taken. ands there at the funeral eddie had already died. the last surviving member of the -- iwo jima was about a great moment in american history, the brave marines raising the flag over mount -- in iwo jima. and then the underbelly, the dark side of the war, which is napalm girl and saigon execution. they are three of the most influential pictures ever taken. you can look at them anyway you want in terms of what they meant. did your photographs change over the time you were in the at non-? -- in the at non-? -- in vietnam? anytime you go somewhere for the first time, particularly going from the united states ,nto saigon and then vietnam every day was a new day. i think my pictures were actually better the first few months i was there, because i fell into what i call into the hole.iarity whol of the hardest things is to overcome the familiarity of being in a situation day in and they out. and day out. you take pictures of something day

put bradley by mistake in the second group that actually raised the flag the second time when joe rosenthalaptured that picture. the marines say they are taking another look at this. it is a big change for the marines. many amateur historians can come forward. the actual names were chaed between '45 and '47. the marines have said they they got it right and now they are taking another look. >> hard to imagine how you can identify anybody from the grain any old photos. a good reaction from families yet. >> very important to the families. very few survivors are plest from the iwo jima battle. it is important to them to get the credit. many have died without getting the credit. some have died getting the credit for the wrong place. bradley's father has always said he participated in the flag raising. james now says he thinks his father was referring to the first flag raising and not the second. >> it certainly doesn't take away from bradley's service in the least. >> if you are as fascinated as i am, you are going to want to stay tuned. pete is going to have more details on "nbc nightly news" r

joe: strike 3. and ooit's quite a process, ken rosenthal for him on a daily ba basis. ken is boycotting. e: two out and nobody on and the batter will be cabrera. i hear the mic now, kenny are you with us? >> ken: it is a process. and as you know, wreet has spinal stenosis, a condition that is not gonna get better so he has to manage it and get through it the best he can. he gets here before batting practice and will warm and stretch and do the exercise but he can only take about 20 to 30 swings pregame down from about 100 when he was in his prime and it's a difficult, difficult situation for him. john talked earlier about the mets possible need for a bat. certainly wright's condition could play into it. >> joe: two out, and nobody on. and it's asdrubal cabrera. >> john: so they got loney, and before that, there was talk could wright play first base. -- wright. and if you get the proclamatidu out of that spot, it would be a great thing. but they've had frank discussion s, and they wanted him to be honest. >> joe: i think the mets are in such good hands with terry collins. he has really bee
