The two north panels include an etching of the second flag raising as the first flag is coming down on Mt. Suribachi, and quotations by another author-historian and a Marine Corps General in the battle. The National Iwo Jima Memorial Monument is the only flag raising monument in the United States specifically dedicated to the memory of the Americans killed at Iwo Jima, erected by survivors of the battle. The Association encourages school field trips and other group visits to our Memorial Park. Arrangements can be made for survivors of the battle to be present to answer questions and tell about the battle. Iwo Jima Survivors Memorial Park is open daily.
Admission is free.
The Iwo Jima Survivors Association, Inc. continues to accept tax deductible contributions to defray the costs for completion of landscaping and a planned visitors center and historical library at the Memorial Park.
