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.

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.
