History Hour is a series of presentations which covers manifold events in numerous eras.

The contest for Iwo Jima absorbed the effort of three marine divisions, and involved over 90,000 participants. Iwo would become the costliest battle in Marine Corps history, and it has become one of the most discussed, if not controversial, campaigns in World War II history. Partake in a presentation of the battle, its participants, its legacy, and discussions regarding the identity of the marines who raised the flag over Mount Suribachi.
