So I grew up near where the plaster original for the national Iwo Jima memorial in Arlington wound up, the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Tx. It's a pretty impressive sculpture.
This is a 1/2 scale or so version of that sculpture: same content, different artist's depiction. It's such a recognizable piece of art, though.
War sucks.
 With Today being Iwo Jima day I just wanted to take a minute to show off CT's very own memorial in New Britain. It commemorates all that died in the battle but was mainly dedicated to the 100 men from Connecticut who lost their lives on this day 78 years ago
