John Henry "Jack" "Doc" Bradley (July 10, 1923 – January 11, 1994) was a United States Navy Hospital corpsman who was awarded the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism in combat on February 21, 1945, while assigned to a U.S.
Marine Corps rifle company during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II.
Bradley is best known as one of the six men originally identified as those who raised the second of two U.S.
flags atop Mount Suribachi, until it was determined in 2016 that he did not.Bradley was one of the members of the 40-man combat patrol that climbed and captured Mount Suribachi on the morning of February 23, 1945.
In June 2016, Bradley was identified as being at the first flag raising and helping to secure that flagstaff after the flag was raised.
It also was determined that he was at the replacement flag raising about 90 minutes later, but did not actually raise that flag either.
It was the second flag raising by six Marines that was captured in the world famous Pulitzer Prize-winning photo Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima taken by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal.
