The Honorable Peter Hegseth, United States Secretary of Defense; ISHIBA Shigeru, prime minster of Japan; the Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Eric Smith; and other U.S. and Japan government officials and military and self-defense force leadership pose for a group photo following the conclusion of the 80th Reunion of Honor ceremony at Iwo To, Japan, March 29, 2025. The 80th Reunion of Honor is a milestone anniversary that commemorates the sacrifices made by both Japanese and American service members during the Battle of Iwo Jima, honoring their legacy and ensuring their stories are preserved for future generations. This milestone anniversary serves as a reminder of the enduring partnership between both nations and the progress made toward regional stability over the past 80 years. The U.S. Marine Corps was born on November 10th, 1775. From that day until the present, Marines have served with distinction in every clime and place, including the hallowed battle fields of Iwo Jima. This year, the U.S. Marine Corps celebrates 250 years of honor, courage, and commitment across the globe. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Gunnery Sgt. Jonathan Wright)
