Nice job, Dirk. Very moving statue, made from a famous photograph of the
actual event of the raising of the flag after the bloody battle for Iwo Jima.
Wasn't Ira Hayes, Native American, one of those who helped to raise the flag?
Portrayed in a movie by Tony Curtis? Or am I confusing my war movies?
This Coastie salutes ALL you "jarheads". Semper Fi.
