Photograph by David Coleman. The Marine Corps War Memorial, commonly known as the Iwo Jima Memorial, is a monumental sculpture located in Arlington, Virginia, just across the Potomac River from Washington, DC. This iconic memorial was dedicated in 1954 to commemorate all Marines who have given their lives in defense of the United States since 1775. The memorial's design is based on the famous photograph taken by Joe Rosenthal during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. The sculpture, created by Felix de Weldon, depicts six Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi. The figures stand 32 feet tall, with the flagpole extending the total height to 78 feet. Cast in bronze, the memorial sits on a hillside overlooking the Potomac River, offering views of the Washington, DC skyline. The base of the memorial is inscribed with the names and dates of major Marine Corps engagements, and the phrase "Uncommon Valor Was a Common Virtue, " a tribute to the Marines who fought at Iwo Jima. The memorial is part of Arlington Ridge Park and is managed by the National Park Service. It serves as a site for Marine Corps celebrations and wreath-laying ceremonies, particularly on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. The raising and lowering of the American flag on the memorial's 60-foot flagpole occurs daily, adding to its symbolic significance. Located near Arlington National Cemetery and the Netherlands Carillon, the Iwo Jima Memorial is a powerful tribute to the sacrifices of the US Marine Corps and a popular destination for visitors to the Washington, DC area.
