Original Question
In the First and Second World Wars, thousands of our countrymen died on foreign soil fighting for the American cause. At Iwo Jima in the Second World War, United States Marines fought hand to hand against thousands of [p426] Japanese.

The Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery memorializes that event. “
Answers
