I went to Natioan Museum of Marine corps, so I want to introduce National Marine Corps War Memorial becasue it is related to the Museum. for this reason, I went to National Marine Corps War Memorial. It is located near Arlington National Cemetery. Also, it is really closed with Grave of John F. Kennedy. I visited all of them.
In the picture, there are five marines and one navy who are holding the natioanl flag of the U.S. According to the story, this picture gave hope and dream to Americans.

The Marine Corps War Memorial stands as a symbol of this grateful Nation's esteem for the honored dead of the U.S. Marine Corps
While the statue depicts one of the most famous incidents of World War II, the memorial is dedicated to all Marines who have given their lives in the defense of the United States since 1775.
The small island of Iwo Jima lies 660 miles south of Tokyo. One of its outstanding geographical features is Mount Suribachi, an extinct volcano that forms the narrow southern tip of the island and rises 550 feet to dominate the area. By February 1945, U.S. troops had recaptured most of the territory taken by the Japanese in 1941 and 1942; still uncaptured was Iwo Jima, which became a primary objective in American plans to bring the Pacific campaign to a successful conclusion.
