Dedicated to the Marine dead of all wars, and their comrades of other services who fell fighting beside them, this memorial was created by Felix de Weldon and inspired by the immortal photograph taken by Joseph J. Rosenthal on February 23, 1945, atop Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima, Volcano Islands. It was erected by the Marine Corps War Memorial Foundation with funds provided by Marines and their friends, and with the cooperation and support of many public officials, and was dedicated November 10, 1954.
