The Iwo Jima Memorial is located near the Arlington cemetery, across the Potomac river from Washington, D.C. Technically speaking, the original, plaster statue from which the bronze statue in Arlington was cast, is located at the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Texas. Its sculptor, Dr. Felix de Weldon, donated it to the Academy where he oversaw its reassembly and was present for its dedication on 16 April 1982. This statue is actually slightly larger than the one in Arlington Cemetery.
