Bob Gibson, greatest pitcher of his era, threw with ALL of his body:
 I can't find a picture of his infamous stare -- the total mask of hostility with which he faced down batters -- but this picture actually sums up how much violence Bob Gibson would unleash upon you. |

The five Sullivan brothers who served together on the USS Juneau, and subsequently perished together when the Juneau was sunk during combat 13 Nov, 1942. Saving Private Ryan was loosely based on them right? Obliquely. The loss of all five Sullivans prompted immediate Federal legislation that prevented brothers from serving together in the same unit/ship/bomber/etc. |

What made it famous is that it was universally recognized as being symbolic of the end of the hippie era of "peace and love".

I don't know if it's an "iconic" image, since it is not well known. But, since the thread has turned into a "post interesting images" thread, it seems appropriate.
It may be the only photo showing a British Mosquito bomber over the city, during Operation Carthage in Nazi occupied Copenhagen during WW2 (March 1945) The plan was to bomb the SS headquarter, to aid the Danish resistance, but shit went sideways and most of the bombs ended up in a girl's school next door, killing almost 100 small children and nuns.

I remember this photo from my youth. Larry Burrows was killed not long after this in a helo crash in Laos. God bless your father and all who served there. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/68216/vietnam-war-larry-burrows-Reaching_Out_j-2724603.JPG Pretty sure that photo is in the time life Vietnam books. |

Attached FileMay not be as iconic, but a great painting of the Battle of Franklin, TN (Nov. 30, 1864). My great x4 uncle was Colonel (later Brigadier General) Emerson Opdycke, who led the 125th Ohio Volunteers in the counterattack that turned back the Confederate attack at the Carter House. Col. Opdycke is the one using his revolver as a club. |
