Marine Corps and Navy emblems adorn several panels at the Iwo Jima display in the National Museum of the Marine Corps. Each emblem represents a serviceman who lost their life during the battle.

March 26, 1945, marked the end of the 36-day long battle that resulted in over 26,000 American casualties, including 6,800 killed in action.

The battle for Iwo Jima also saw 27 Medals of Honor awarded to Marine and Navy personnel for gallantry above and beyond the call of duty.

Packard 2775

This is the wild-looking Packard 2775, a 24-cylinder "X" engine. The "X" represents the arrangement of the engine's banks of cylinders, which in this case form the shape of an X. This engine was developed in the 1920s as the powerplant for a US Navy aircraft that was hoped would win the Schneider Trophy Race. All 24 pistons connected to a single crankshaft in the middle, and in total the 2775 displaced 2,775 cu in (45.5 litres). On this engine, it was possible to mount four spark plugs per cylinder (two per side). It made an impressive 1,500 hp before the 1930s, but it was never fitted to an aircraft and only a few were built.

USS Constitution arrives in Everett, Washington on July 7, 1933. She was "at the foot of Hewitt Avenue in Everett and opens to visitors. Everett is one stop on a three-year U.S. tour made by the Constitution between 1931 and 1934, a goodwill trip on which the ship travels 22,000 miles and visits 91 ports. The ship's stay in Everett ends on July 14."

Armstrong and Scott with Hatches Open

"Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and David R. Scott sit with their spacecraft hatches open while awaiting the arrival of the recovery ship, the USS Leonard F. Mason after the successful, but early, completion of their Gemini VIII mission. They are assisted by USAF Pararescuemen Eldrige M. Neal, Larry D. Huyett, and Glenn M. Moore. The overhead view shows the Gemini 8 spacecraft with the yellow flotation collar attached to stabilize the spacecraft in choppy seas. The green marker dye is highly visible from the air and is used as a locating aid."

Puppy! 

Scuttlebutt was the mascot of a U.S. Navy minesweeper ship somewhere near San Diego, July 3, 1943. 

Record Group 80: General Records of the Department of the Navy Series: General Photographic Files

Image description: We are looking over the shoulder of someone who is holding an ID card and writing in a ship’s log. The ID card says, “United States Navy Mascot / “Scuttlebut”, Hair - Black-White / Eyes - Brown / Born - 3-6-43 / 207-20-12 Jr. / “Trudie”” and has a photo of a puppy sitting on a table. The puppy itself is lying on the table with both paws on the logbook, and is looking at the camera. I’m not sure what breed it is, but it has short fur and cocked ears.
