"Pfc. Paul Ison dashes through Japanese machine gun fire while crossing "Death Valley" Okinawa May 10, 1945"

This is how it's captioned in a book I have.

You have the name incorrect on the person you photographed. His name is Ephraim LaMaun Sorensen from Antimony, Utah. He was a Marine Sniper Scout in Okinawa during this battle. He is my great uncle and lives in St. George, Utah, currently alive. He has that image on his living room wall that he was given by the photographer. Please correct your information.

Great photo seen worldwide. He was a great man, father and proud to call him my grandfather.
