Iwo Jima / World War II Traveling Museum

The Survivors had talked about building a museum on the grounds of the memorial but after years of raising only a small fraction of the necessary funds, it was decided the project would be unfeasible due to the cost of construction and other factors. Support Our Survivors of Iwo Jima stepped in and proposed the idea of building a traveling museum. The Iwo Jima Survivors liked the idea. Support Our Survivors of Iwo Jima planned the design of the museum and after using their own funds to purchase an older used truck and new trailer, they began construction. With the help of some caring supporters and friends, a small amount was raised to help complete the project. The Iwo Jima / World War II Traveling Museum was unveiled in 2017 and Iwo Jima Survivors were on hand to cut the ribbon and tour it for the first time during "Operation Thank You" at the Iwo Jima Survivors Victory Ride.
