Tucked inside the National Museum of the Marine Corps, just outside Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., there is a small, poignant display honoring the Marines and sailors who gave their lives during the Battle for Iwo Jima. Nearly 6,000 Marine and Navy insignia adorn metallic panels. From afar, the neatly arranged square panes seem mere dotted patterns on the wall. But when one comes in a bit closer, they become a bronzen sea, a forest-like testament to each individual sacrifice made at Iwo Jima. For more than 30 Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 6, Combat Logistics Regiment 2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group based out of Camp Lejeune, N.C., the monument was only one of dozens of sites they visited in May as they explored their deep Marine Corps heritage and the long legacy of leadership they now represent. Available in high definition.
