We are on the same wavelength. I thought of both of those too.
I hesitate to post the one of the girl, because she is naked and the photo is disturbing.
Since the Iwo Jima photo was totally staged, and really a war propaganda photo of sorts, I debated whether to include it. My same thoughts on the WW2 photo of the meeting at the River Elbe. But I should add Iwo Jima, it is certainly more than meets the definition of iconic.
And I do not think history would forgive us if we neglected to add the situation room photo of the night Obama issued the kill order on Osama Bin Laden - after 8 long years of Bush failure to get him.
One of the most electrifying sights I have ever seen was the night the Berlin Wall fell.
History would not forgive us either if we neglected an iconic photo of Amelia Earhart.
