"The Punchbowl is the final resting place for many lost at Iwo."

It's a beautiful cemetary. When I was stationed at Kaneohoe Bay I had went out there on a number of Sundays to walk around and view. Anyone taking a vacation to Hawaii, while on Oahu, it is definitely worth a trip up to the Punchbowl national cemetary. Its kind of like the Arlington of the Pacific.

Are they grave markers or just memorial stones? I ask because I watched a program on Iwo that suggested sailors and Marines were buried at sea.
