A Gift to the Marine Military Academy
In October 1981, Dr. de Weldon gifted his original, full sized working model to Marine Military Academy as an inspiration to our young cadets. Other major factors involved in his site selection included:

The fairly constant temperature and humidity in Harlingen were ideal for the preservation of the molding-plaster figures.
The street facing the memorial was appropriately named Iwo Jima Boulevard by MMA’s founders in 1965.
MMA is the only place outside of Washington, D.C., where proper honors are rendered with battalion-size dress blue parades.
The Marine placing the flagpole into the ground was a South Texas native, Cpl Harlon H. Block of Weslaco, Texas. Block’s gravesite resides directly behind the monument.
The Iwo Jima Monument was dedicated April 16, 1982 on the MMA Parade Ground.
