The Iwo Jima Memorial represents the Americans who raised the American Flag on , at that time , Japanese enemy territory . The flag raising symbolized the efforts and the sacrfices the US made during WW2 to carry the war to the Japanese .

Five US Marines (Rene Gagnon - Ira Hayes - Harlon Block- Franklin Sousley - Michael Strank) and one Navy Corpman (John Bradley) raised the flag and was captured in an iconic photograph by photographer Joe Rosenthal .
