The US Marine Corps War Memorial, located in Arlington, Virginia, is a prominent landmark dedicated to all Marines who have given their lives in defense of the United States since 1775. The memorial is famously known for its iconic statue, which depicts the raising of the American flag on Iwo Jima during World War II, a moment captured in a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph by Joe Rosenthal. This statue is not only a tribute to the bravery and sacrifices of the Marines but also a symbol of national pride and resilience.
