On many a trip from Richmond to DC I’ve often looked out the window of the car and said to my self “One of these days I’m gonna stop and take a picture of that…” Well I finally did. On a family trip to DC we decided to stop at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. Wow! What an awesome place. Not only is the architecture incredible but the exhibits and history within this one building are a must see for any one in the area.
The building structure itself was designed around Joe Rosenthal’s iconic image of the Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. While this one is not near as momentous it reminds me of the honor, commitment, and courage the men and women fighting in WWII had.
