National Museum of the Marine Corps

Here are some shots from the Marine Corps museum in Quantico, Virginia. Quantico is just south of Washington, DC.

Re: National Museum of the Marine Corps

I was there not that long ago as well. It is a really cool museum.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: National Museum of the Marine Corps

Wow, new building, new exhibits, ... it's time for another visit, it has been many years since I was last there.
Thanks for pics.
Town of Quantico also makes an interesting visit.

Re: National Museum of the Marine Corps

Nice pics, Lee. As always, always like to see pics of WW I birds, even if it is only a Curtis Jenny, with an added machine gun in the back seat. Was it able to get into the air with the additional weight? Thanks for sharing.
