Iwo Jima Memorial Rememberance February 23rd at National Iwo Jima Memorial Park


American servicemen landed on the shore of Iwo Jima Island 66 years ago today.  On the 5th day of battle, February 23, 1945, the flag was raised on Mt. Suribachi.  You may recognize this important historical event from the Joe Rosenthal photo taken of the 5 Marines and 1 Navy Corpsman who raised the flag.
 
 
In remembrance of the 66th anniversary of the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi, Foundation member Mark Adamski and other members will be on hand at the Memorial Park on February 23rd between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Mark, who is a WWII historian and reenactor will be dressed in the uniform worn by Marines during the invasion. He will have memorabilia, photos and mementos from the battle on display and will be available for questions. There will be brief ceremony to place a wreath at the monument to honor those who fought and died during the battle. Everyone is welcome.

Please stop by the National Iwo Jima Memorial Park located at the intersection of Barbour Rd. and Ella Grasso Boulevard or exit 29 off Route 9.
