We thought you were there and when we turned you had just stepped out the door without a word of farewell, leaving the room empty, with just a stream of light, a memory, to show you had ever been there.
U.S. Marine Corps Memorial, Arlington, Virginia, USA.
Just outside Arlington National Cemetery stands the Marine Corps Memorial, with bronze figures 32ft tall. The statue was based on the photo taken at Iwo Jima of the raising of the US flag above the beaches by Marines. The names of every engagement in which the USMC has fought are engraved in the granite plinth on which the statue stands.
