February 1945.On February 23, Chaplain Suver (who was part of the 5th Marine Division) joined with the men raising the flag on Mount Suribachi and said mass prior to the raising of the flag. This mass was said in the very teeth of death. Japanese resistance was still very much alive on Mount Suribachi. While he was saying mass Father Suver could hear Japanese talking from caves nearby. For whatever reason, maybe by divine intervention, the Japanese did not attack the mass, and the flag was raised. A controversy developed as to whether the mass occurred before the first flag raising, or after the second flag raising which was immortalised by the photograph taken by Joe Rosenthal.The battle continued to rage until March 26, 1945 and the Marines suffered most of their casualties in the days following the flag raising. Throughout it Father Suver continued to aid the wounded and give spiritual aid to the dying. Although his own life was constantly at risk, in his letters home he said that he had it easy and all his attention was directed to the combat Marines who he said were going through hell.
