13 hands on Iwo Jima memorial

[snopes]

Comment: Is it true that there are 13 hands depicted on the Iwo Jima
Statue in Washington DC (tribute to the Marine Corps dead)? Five Marines
and a Navy corpman are copied from the Rosenthal photo depidting this
inspiring event but the rumor is that instead of 12 hands raising the flag
pole there are 13. The 13th hand is alleged to be a representation of the
hand of God.
