The Iwo Jima statue was built to commemorate the valor of the men who fought in the South Pacific. This part of the war was often overlooked, and the Battle of Iwo Jima was a hard fought and pivotal victory on that front.

Where is the original Iwo Jima statue?

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.

This statue is actually slightly larger than the one in Arlington Cemetery.


What is wrong with the Iwo Jima statue?

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.
