The statue of Iwo Jima, officially titled "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima," was created by artist Felix de Weldon. It was inspired by the iconic photograph taken by Joe Rosenthal during World War II. The statue depicts the moment when U.S. Marines raised the American flag on Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. It stands as a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the Marines who fought in the battle.
