National Museum Of The Marine Corps

Description

Thousands of artifacts, interactive displays, and moving exhibits await you at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, located a short distance outside of Washington DC. With stunning renovations completed in 2006, this museum stands as a lasting tribute to the soldiers who have given their lives in battle. Artifacts from the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam Conflict are on display, and the exhibit devoted to World War II is especially poignant. Included in the collection are pieces such as the American flag that was raised at Iwo Jima—which inspired the famous memorial in Arlington, and a moving account of the Bataan Death March.

A touching tribute to the bravest of men

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/19/09

A relative was in town and wanted to visit the Museum so I tagged along. The tour guide asked the one hour tour or the longest one and I said the one hour tour but I stayed four hours. It was so touching to be taken through the journey of our bravest men. This is a must for all want to learn about the Marines, for all those who have served in the military. Bless them all. It's right off 95 and plenty of free parking so no reason not to stop and say hello.

wonderful

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/9/07

I attended the grand opening of the Museum with my parents who were both in the Marine Corps (Korean conflict era). We were so impressed. It is a fun way to learn history and you can really live what it is like to be a Marine. The different ways they displayed the different wars that the Marines have been part of, was truly spectacular and educational. I highly recommend this to any and everyone. We will be returning to the meseum in October 2007 and are really looking forward to it.

Wonderful History

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/28/07

Museum is outstanding and does a wonderful job of teaching the history of the Marine Corps. All of the exhibits require much time to read and absorb the facts. An independent walk through (without docents) takes around 2-3 hours-longer if you wish to read and listen everything. I would recommend this museum to anyone interested in history.
