Partly because of this photo, the flag is never lowered
atop Suribachi except to be replaced by a new one.
The flag flies near the site where the photo was
taken. Around it is a small monument of white-washed
concrete with two bronze plaques. One reports that

no one here Avants to stay on this place just to keep it
but no one wants to see it go back to the Japanese.”
S. Sgt. Richard Luyet of Miami, Florida, adds: “The

With the exception of migration for reasons of religious and
political persecutions, an emigrant generally is defined as “one
who has gone aboard for the specific purpose of earning a liveli
hood by working.” Once the emigrant is half way to success, he
tends, either by writing letters or by visiting the homeland partly
from loneliness, to invite his relatives and friends to come. And
as the result, he is followed by many fellow villagers. Some of the
people fall into the hands of labor contractors as was the case with
the Japanese immigrants to avoid military service in the homeland.But in addition to the causes mentioned above, there was a
certain unique characteristic of these people summerized in the
motto of the Japanese proverb, “Nishiki wo kazatte kokyo-e kaeru” which means “going home with a golden robe on” as was
said very often to the writer in his boyhood. That is to say, the
intention of a Japanese immigrant was to go abroad to earn a
