The greatest battle in US Marine Corps history will always be "The Battle for Iwo Jima"; and their flag raising there.
For decades, the US public always believed that the statue of Marines/and one Sailor raising the flag was a WWII memorial; only in the last 10 or so years did the public learn (or realize) that that was a statue dedicated to the US Marine Corps.
The issue came up when somebody said, "hey we gotta build a memorial to WWII vets, there ain't one!" The reply was, "...oh yes there is, the one with the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima!" After some research, "...guess that's not for all WWII vets, it's strictly for the Corps." So the US public had a WWII memorial built a few years back.
