U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Statue)
Arlington Blvd and Meade St, Washington, DCTel: (703) 285-2601
The image of five marines and a navy corpsman raising an American flag atop Mount Suribachi during World War II is known to every American schoolchild. Seen in person, the bronze 78-foot statue is sure to stir emotions.
The sculpture near Arlington National Cemetery, commemorates the 6,800 soldiers who died during World War II in order to capture the tiny Japanese island of Iwo Jima. Today, the memorial is dedicated to all U.S. Marines who died in battle.
A Marine Parade is held at 7pm Tuesdays throughout the summer.

- I like how they are holding the flag up.
- Nothing. I love everything.
“I love this piece because it shows that people really care about our troops and it makes me so happy that I wish everybody would put there lives on the line to save someone else. But that job is for the brave people.”
