The memorial is dedicated to the Battle of Iwo Jima, one of the most significant battles in the Pacific during World War II.
The memorial's design is inspired by the iconic photograph 'Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima' taken by Joe Rosenthal in 1945.
The memorial was sculpted by Felix de Weldon, who also created the larger Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia.
The memorial is constructed from bronze and granite, materials chosen for their durability and historical significance.
