National Museum of the United States Marine Corps (April 14, 2018)

 After tehe visit to the National Air and Space Museum, Debbie and I stopped at the National Museum of the United States Marine Corps. Admission and parking are both free and this museum is truly remarkable giving the full history of the United States Marine Corps. I served in the US Navy and was honored to know a few Marines in the day....tend to be outstanding people.   


Many aircraft to see at the museum such as the Harrier above and many great historical artifacts such as the flag at left that flew at Iwo Jima in World War 2. I was amazed at many of the sights I saw in the museum and if you can find the time to visit you will find a visit to this museum is well worth it.
