Iwo Jima Monument (Harlingen)

Iwo Jima Monument at Harlingen
You don't have to go to Arlington, Virginia to see the Iwo Jima Monument. At the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen they have the original, full-sized working model that was used to cast the famous bronze replica. The monument was donated by the sculptor Felix W. de Weldon in 1981 and officially dedicated in April 1982.
