🇺🇸 ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF IWO JIMA 🇺🇸

On February 19, 1945, United States Marines stormed the black sands of Iwo Jima in one of the fiercest battles of World War II.

For 36 days, courage, sacrifice, and relentless determination defined what it means to be a Marine.

The iconic flag raising atop Mount Suribachi became a symbol of grit, unity, and unwavering commitment to mission.

Today, we remember the Marines and Sailors who fought, those who gave their lives, and the legacy they carried forward.

Semper Fi!

🇺🇸I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all!
SEMPER FI!
