This vintage postcard features the iconic Iwo Jima Statue, also known as the Marine Corps War Memorial, located in Arlington, Virginia. The statue was completed in 1954 by sculptor Felix de Weldon, based on the famous World War II photograph of the flag raising on Iwo Jima on February 23, 1945. In the background of the image, you can see the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, highlighting its prestigious location in the nation's capital.
Printed in vibrant color by Mike Roberts of Berkeley, California, this postcard captures the solemn heroism and historical significance of the memorial. The card is standard size (approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches) and printed on postcard stock. The reverse side displays a handwritten message and a postmark dated 1969 with an American flag 5-cent stamp, adding to its collectible vintage charm. This postcard is a perfect piece for collectors interested in military history, patriotic Americana, or mid-20th century travel memorabilia.
