U.S. Marine Corps Iwo Jima Memorial


After dinner we went to Arlington, VA to see this memorial. It was inspired by the iconic 1945 photograph of six Marines raising a U.S. flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II.  The war memorial is dedicated to all U.S. Marine Corps personnel who died in the defense of the United States since 1775.
