Based on the equally famous World War II photograph taken soon after the actual incident, the famous 'Iwo Jima statue' represents the capturing of Mt. Suribachi -- the highest point on the island of Iwo Jima -- by American Marines. More largely, the statue is dedicated to all those Marines who have died in defense of their country since 1775.

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.
I'm not sure what you mean by "wrong". The statue is a work of art that captures the drama of the event on Iwo Jima. If you look carefully, I'm sure there are many items of equipment and such that are not identical to the photo. That is not reason to critique the excellent monument.
To honor all Marines that died in battle especially the battle of Iwo Jima
