yes, we'll be going back. You have to soak it in.

We need to spend the day - and have lunch at Tun Tavern.

The volunteers there are phenominal! Most are former / retired Marines. I got choked up as the one volunteer was telling me how a Chosin survivor went through the Korean exhibit 3 times - then sat down and said "You got it right!. I was right there on that ridge - it was just like that.".
I'd spend all day as a glob of emotion if I worked there.
It really hits your heart.

Even our Young Marines enjoyed and were impressed with everything.

We're so blessed to have this in our backyard!

OOH-Rah!! Semper Fi!

MP - Do you or hubby know if some of the static display vehicles will be there as a permanent display?

I'm thinking of going down next weekend...

I stayed away this weekend, because I loathe crowds. Any FReepers want to get together?
