That picture is old ... caption says the museum "opens in November." Actually, the museum has been open for years.
I was there in 2008 and saw that flag. Great place to visit, even if you're not a Marine.

The dedication ceremony for the National Museum of the Marine Corps was Friday, November 10 (MC birthday) 2006. I was a proud attendee, the Museum itself wasn't open to guests until the following day Saturday.
This museum has broken all kinds of visitor records, I believe it exceeded one million visitors in under two years. The location Quantico, VA (immediately off I-95) just 25 miles south of DC helps.
