I thought is was outstanding. The workmenship is very very good. You can even see the viens in thier hands. And they have expressions on thier faces.

The history of both the event and what the statue represents. This statue was built on donations, inpired by a photograph taken in Iwo Jima during War world II. This statue is in honor for all those that have gone before us, in all engagements in which the Marine Corps has been involved. It is the epitome of our military and what they do for our freedom.

I walk down there all of the time. I live a few hundred yards away. It's a beautful monument and allows a nice view of the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and U.S. Capitol.
