May be difficult for tourists to find because the driveway off of rt110 comes up quickly.

Saw this at twilight on the trolley tour and appreciated the history told as we arrived but it was nothing compared to walking up to it and contemplating the transformation from reality to photograph to memorial.

In Rosslyn next to Arlington Cemetery and Netherlands Carillon. One of the most moving tributes to US Marines. Large and impressive bronze of the famous Joe Rosenthal photograph taken on Iwo Jima in February 1945.

The best military museum I have seen. It is a most positive reflection of the men and woman who serve in the United States Marine Corps.

Suggest that you try to visit this during the daylight hours. I have seen it both in the evening and daylight - and there is no comparison.

A must-see monument for all Marines! The National Mall provides a beautiful backdrop for the iconic sculpture. The Silent Drill Team and Drum & Bugle Corps conduct parades here in the evenings during the summer months!

It is a great memorial to those who have served to defend their country. It is based on the Battle of Iwo Jima and is a must see for those interested in military history.
