This was one of the most important moments in American history: the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima that brought about the end of WWII.

I hope you like it!

Note: I know there were only 48 states then, but I am going to use this in later time period MOCs

Wow. That's awesome Baylego. I love how you made the flag.

Are those Toy Story army men you used for the American soldiers

Has he served in the army? Or are you just giving him an awesome MOC for the heck of it? Just curious.
