Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Marine Corps War Memorial stands just south of Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. It is often called the Iwo Jima Memorial. It was dedicated in 1954. It depicts the famous photograph of six Marines raising a flag on Mount Suribachi during the battle of Iwo Jima in World War II, in 1945. By Presidential order, a U.S. flag is flown on the monument 24 hours a day. The original photo was taken by Joe Rosenthal, who was working for Associated Press at the time. The memorial was within easy walking distance of my apartment in Arlington at the time.
