After many attempts, my schedule finally worked out and I got to the National Iwo Jima Memorial in CT for the annual flag raising ceremony. The monument is wonderful. The attention to detail is incredible. Over the next several posts, I'll share the photos I took of the monument and of the ceremony.
The monument depicts the familiar and more famous second flag raising on Iwo Jima.

If you get a chance to stop by sometime, it is a fitting memorial to a great battle.
My thanks to the Support our Survivors of Iwo Jima organization for putting this together.
