The Weekly Text, 19 May 2023, Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month Week III: A Reading and Comprehension Worksheet on Iwo Jima

This is of course, a topic in United States history as well.

That photograph inspired the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C.
