On Feb. 19, 1945, U.S. forces began the Battle of Iwo Jima, launching 36 days of fierce combat that would become one of the most pivotal and hard fought battles of World War II. The courage and sacrifice displayed there remain etched in our nation’s history. #IwoJima #WWII

Aboard USS Constitution our Sailors get thousands of visitors a week and we’ve decided to take the time to answer some of the most common questions we get from our visitors.  You have a question, our crew has an answer! #USSConstitution #Boston #NavalHeritage #USNavy
