On February 23, 1945, six U.S. Marines raised the American flag atop Mount Suribachi during the fierce Battle of Iwo Jima.

Today, we honor the courage of all who served in the Pacific, remembering Admiral Nimitz’s words that on that island, “uncommon valor was a common virtue.” It remains a defining chapter in history.
