This is the US Marine memorial. It's much larger than I thought it would be. The base is about 6 feet tall. When you walk around the statue it looks as though the flag is being raised in the air. By the time you get to the rear it looks like the flag is fully upright.

Probably the most famous photo ever taken Sheri. I am glad you took this and shared. It brings to mind this song. Great post.

Is there any greater monument that pays tribute to our military. We cannot thank our servicemen enough for their sacrifices. Thanks so much for this.

It's such a great monument, full of movement and so evocative of the sacrifice of war. You did it justice here too.
