Happy Birthday, US Marine Corps; born, 10 November 1775.
(Had the good fortune of a two-day “Honor Flight” trip to visit the Washington monuments with 43 other Korean and Vietnam War veterans. This is the US Marine Corps War Memorial, overlooking the US Capital and the Washington Monument. Photo taken with a Fujifilm X100F.)

Very dramatic view of the monument to the U.S. Marines. The reference to Iwo Jima invokes the memory of the sacrifice that this fighting force underwent in the battle for this strategic island in the Pacific Ocean during WW II.
Let me make a couple of suggestions. One, lift the darks to bring out more of the potential of the exposure.
Two, consider cropping from the bottom up to remove the square block in the foreground. It distracts.
Thanks for posting this evocative photo.

Considering they were formed in a tavern, they certainly 'done good' in our nations later bar fights. Semper Fi.

Just beautiful. Love the framing. Most pics are a closeup of the statue. This shows its location and puts it into perspective. Love it.
