The original mold of the Marine Corps War Memorial, also known as the Iwo Jima flag-raising memorial, is on display in Harlingen, Texas where flag-raiser and Marine Cpl. Harlon Block lived. This month, the city will host a parade and pay tribute to Block and the other flag-raisers for the 70th anniversary of the event. Iwo Jima Museum and Gift Shop in Harlingen features a special display honoring Block and the flag-raisers. It also has a collection of weapons, military memorabilia and a documentary film.
