US Marine Corps Monument

US Marine Corps Monument, Peleliu Island, Koror

On a clearing located on the eastern flank of Bloody Nose Ridge is this small but poignant coral memorial, dedicated to the US Navy and Marine Corps troops who perished in 1944 during the Battle of Peleliu. Its location is highly symbolic – it is near a Japanese shrine.
