Battle of Iwo Jima: From the Beaches to Arlington
The Battle of Iwo Jima was fought in February and March 1945 on a small volcanic island in Japan's Ogasawara group, from the black-sand landing beaches to the summit of Mount Suribachi. Its famous flag-raising photograph became the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia.
This route follows the battle from the landing on 19 February, through the Suribachi flag-raising and the fight for the northern gorge, to the memorial in Arlington and the 1985 Reunion of Honor, where veterans of both sides met on the same beach. Iwo Jima itself is not open to ordinary visitors.

On the morning of 19 February 1945, the first wave of Marines came ashore at 08:59, one minute ahead of schedule, on the beaches of the island's southeastern coast. The ground fought them at once: amphibious tractors could not get traction in the black volcanic ash and made no progress up the slopes above the beach, so the Marines had to dismount and slog forward on foot.

On 23 February 1945 a patrol of Marines climbed Mount Suribachi at the island's southern end. A length of Japanese water pipe among the wreckage served as a flagpole for the American flag, the first foreign flag to fly on Japanese soil. Later that day a second, larger flag went up and six Marines raised it, as shown in Rosenthal's photograph.

The island was declared secure on 16 March, 25 days after the landings, but the fight was not over. General Kuribayashi's main stronghold lay in a gorge 640 metres long at the northwestern end of the island. On 21 March the Marines destroyed the command post there with four tons of explosives.

The Rosenthal photograph was turned into bronze by sculptor Felix de Weldon. The colossal group shows the six Marines who raised the second and largest of the two flags on Mount Suribachi, and it was dedicated on 10 November 1954 at Arlington National Cemetery. The sculpture group is the centerpiece of the memorial.

On 19 February 1985, the 40th anniversary of the landings, veterans of both forces gathered just yards from where the Marines had come ashore. A plaque there reads that American and Japanese veterans "met again on these same sands, this time in peace and friendship." Its English text faces the landing beaches and its Japanese text faces inland, where the defenders had held their positions.
