What do you think are the most powerful images in US History?

SrA Eddie V - The photo collage you shared is so very powerful. THANK YOU for sharing!, Some of those photos still hold a very deep and powerful meaning. Semper Fidelis

Iwo Jima, 80 Men's Olympic Hockey Team, Jackie Robinson, Wright Brother's flight, Pearl Harbor attack, World Trade Center attack, OK City Murrow Fed Building attack, take your pick. There are so many good ones.

Diego Frazão Torquato, 12 year old Brazilian playing the violin at his teacher’s funeral. The teacher had helped him escape poverty and violence through music.

Sergeant Frank Praytor looks after a two-week old kitten during the height of the Korean War.

I just reviewed each and every photo. Sure, there are maybe 10 other iconic moments but with the exception of "The Rainbow WH" all of the others were perfect, and poetic.

Flag-raising on Iwo Jima, Apollo 11 Moon landing, pictures and video of people who survived the Holocaust, American POWs rescued from the Japanese, any picture form the Civil War that was taken after a battle, the Challenger explosion and Reagan's speech that evening, the Japanese surrender on the USS Missouri, images from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the flag draped over the side of the Pentagon, the flag that was raised at Ground Zero, any image from the successful launches in the early days of the space program, the Wright Brothers' flight at Kitty Hawk, any image from the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's, images from the attack on Pearl Harbor, the picture in Times Square of the sailor kissing the nurse on V-J Day, just to name a few.

Because it exposed to the public what the warriors already knew... that war is brutal and inhumane:
