    A U.S. Marine in camouflage uniform is gesturing toward a bronze memorial plaque dedicated to the 7th Engineer Battalion, 1st Marine Division, while speaking with an elderly civilian veteran wearing a suit and cap with pins and ribbons. The memorial wall is constructed of stacked stone and features multiple bronze plaques, including one referencing Joe Rosenthal and the iconic Iwo Jima flag-raising photograph. The setting appears to be an outdoor memorial park or garden with autumn foliage visible in the background.

Mr. Rosenthal had a long career as a news photographer but his most iconic image was that of the flag raising when the Marines took Iwo Jima during World War II on Feb. 23, 1945, earning him a Pulitzer Prize.
