Iwo Jima Memorial Harlingen, Texas   By the time I got to this marker, the sun had set and there was no way I could get good clear photographs.  Looking on the internet, it appears everyone else has the same luck.  If you know of any drop me a line.  The memorial in Washington was made off this monument.  It is over 100 feet high and weighs 130 tons.  Iwo Jima Uncommon Valor was a Common Virtue 1945 Semper Fidelis Felix W. deWeldon Sculp 1945 - 1954 In Honor and Memory of the men of the United States Marine Corps who have given their lives to their country since 10 November 1775. Lest We Forget In loving memory - it is fitting that all our beloved combat brothers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country on Iwo Jima 19 February - 16 March 1945 be always  remembered.  Behind this plaque are enclosed the names as listed from a 3rd, 4th, and 5th Marine Division Cemetery as of September 1945.  We further acknowledge all our beloved brothers here not listed or known but to God, not only of Iwo Jima but of all our heroic battles - you gave us a better America - may your spirit live forever.
