Username: Owen Postmark: 30 August 2019 From: National Museum of the Marine Corps, Triangle, Virginia, USA The National Museum of the Marine Corps is Owen's 7th stop on his expansive American tour. Only dedicated in 2006, this is a relatively new museum, so I'm happy to see it's getting a bit of attention. Remember to check the WW2 Forums/Forces Postal Service Map for a look at our growing list of all WW2F/FPS submissions.
Never posted that card until we got to Queens , NY & found out the hotel I had a reservation for had no record of my booking.
That has happened on our last 2 trips to USA , in 2016 & this year. Thankfully they gave us bigger vehicles without extra charge.
The gift shop is very nice. When I was there I bought a flag for the front of the house, one of those “garden flags” with the Navy insignia on it. They also had a few Navy items. Also I bought a Vietnam War challenge coin, very colorful, one of the large thicker coins that came in a plastic holder.
