“Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue.”
Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, USN, 16 March 1945
This Battle of Iwo Jima Living History Memento is another special collection piece created by myself to give everyone a chance to touch and feel the volcanic sand of Iwo Jima. This is the same sand that was cursed by the Marines as they struggled to get across the beach during this epic battle. The sand is housed in clear glass vial with a sponge cork stopper afixed with the Marine Corps Eagle Globe & Anchor.
The location that the sand was picked up was recorded as 24° 45′ 19.4″ N. & 141° 17′ 58.3″ E using a Garmin GPS 76 device which is in the vicinity of Green Beach I. The sand is already contained in the vial and sealed in a small zip lock plastic bag. All you have to do is remove it from bag.
This collectible honors the memory of the men and women of the United States Marine Corps that serve, those that have served, and especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to their country since the Marine Corps founding in a small bar called Tun Tavern, November 10, 1775.
