Hey, sorry I didn't show up. I just knew that I wasn't up to a trip from Lynchburg to Quantico at 0-dark-thirty the morning after the Marine Corps Ball. I did get to talk with guys who were with my son at the bitter end, and I had to be there for that. I learned a little bit, and got a little closer with our Marine Corps family. And family is what it is all about.
Semper Fidelis,

Yes, I read about the "lessons" you had to teach the younguns! ;*)
It is good to know you had the opportunity to visit with the "family" and I hope it helped you.

How befitting that modern roof in the shape of Marines raising the flag on mount Suribachi so many years before.

I know I'm late with this...but
the entrance to the Museum is located on US route 1, 1000 feet South of Joplin Road (VA Route 619)on the East side of US 1.
Use Exit 150A, off of 95, (Triangle/Quantico.)

Happy belated birthday to the Corps!
I was wondering, is there an exhibit honoring Colonel John Boyd? There is (or was) an exhibit honoring him at Quantico, and I wondered if they might have moved it. You wouldn't have been able to miss it, he was an Air Force officer and would have been depicted wearing his uniform. If they moved the Quantico exhibit it would be a life-sized statue of him wearing a flight suit.

I only saw two statues (pics in Trooprally's link of Museum) and neither were outfitted in an Air Force uniform.
Maybe Mudpuppy saw something on Saturday.

I didn't see it but we ran through the exhibits and things aren't completely finished yet either.

I miss ya'll too, Sweetie.
Unfortunately, I have been assigned as QC/QA for the new power plant being built down here.
6 10's with Sundays on call.
It's gonna be awhile before you see me again.
Right now, the milblog conference in 07 is the soonest I'll be able to get back.
and thats ONLY because I'm going to take vacation that week.
