U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Statue)
NileGuide Expert Says:
This is a site not to be missed, but it can be seen in a short amount of time. To make the trip worth it,. couple a visit here with an afternoon at Arlington Cemetery. Both are located just over the bridge from DC, in Arlington.

Description:
The flag flies 24 hours a day at this famous memorial located across the river from Washington, DC, in Arlington, Virginia. The memorial is design after the famous Life Magazine cover from the Battle of Iwo Jima. While this site doesn't offer a full day's worth of activities, it is without a doubt worth a visit when in DC.
