The 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps General James F. Amos lays a wreath in front of the Iron Mike monument atop a hill in the heart of the Belleau Wood forest during a private Memorial Day ceremony in front of a formation of Marines and French soldiers. The Iron Mike monument was sculpted by Felix Weihs de Weldon, the artist who later designed the Marine Corps War Memorial in Washington, D.C., and was erected in honor of the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments after World War I.
