We visited this with our new Marine immediately following his graduation. It was extremely busy on Family Thursday. Interesting and informative displays bring the history to life.

A wealth of information on our US Military, guns, uniforms, what Vitenam was like. Walking through the Museum gave you an enormous amount of information and portrayed an in the moment picture of what our soldiers went through.

took a tour of the marine command museum. Cool to see the history of the military etc. Great time killer if you're with your marine recruit on family day during graduation weekend.

There are all types of firearms and other weapons used by the Corps throughout the years. There are sections covering the various wars that the Marine Corps has been involved in since its existence.... More
