Parris Island has been making Marines since 1915. In that time, the depot has become home to many monuments and historical sites commemorating generations of Marines from throughout our long history.

For an in-depth history of the monuments, statues and memorials on the depot, visit the
Parris Island Museum
. Ask for directions at the visitors' center and look for the captured Japanese artillery in front of the museum.

Those monuments include the Iron Mike Monument, the Iwo Jima Monument, Drill Instructor Monument, Molly Marine Monument, and the Purple Heart Monument. During the virtual tour, World War II veteran Arthur Shearer reflects on his time in service and what advice he would give future generations of service members. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Cpl.
