Iwo Jima Memorial
Arlington bronze soldiers
The Iwo Jima Memorial is a bronze sculpture in Arlington, Virginia, depicting six U.S.
Marines raising the American flag during the 1945 Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II.
Based on Joe Rosenthal's iconic photograph, the memorial honors all Marines who have died in service.
Formally called the Marine Corps War Memorial, it remains widely known by its informal name: We visited the Iwo Jima Memorial at sunset.
