This, along with the flag from the Pentagon were taken on my trip to DC last month. For those of you who do not know…. This is the Marine Corp War Memorial, depicting 5 US Marines (boys really) Raising the American Flag on Mount Surabachi. (Commonly known as the Iwo Jima memorial.)
The flag was in the Smithsonian Museum of Americal History, where the Original Star Spangled Banner (war of 1812, Frances Scott Key…) Hung, it has been being restored for the past several years.

I would just like to point out that the clouds in this picture are so perfect they almost seem fake. It’s kind of funny.
Still, expertly taken photo. Kudos to you; assuming you clicked it.
