Description of Subject Matter: Legacy Walk

Legacy Walk immerses visitors in the nearly 250 years of Marine Corps history. A timeline of history details the Marine Corps’ activities at home and abroad alongside national and world events. Legacy�Walk connects the Museum’s historical exhibit galleries. For visitors with a limited amount of time to�spend at the Museum, Legacy Walk provides a quick initiation into the rich and storied history of the�Marine Corps.
Colonial Marines perched high atop a sailing ship’s fighting top ready to sweep the decks of an opposing�ship with withering musket fire greet visitors entering Legacy Walk. Only yards away, two-time Medal of�Honor recipient Dan Daly fights on the Tartar Wall in Peking in 1900. Farther on, a World War I Marine�locked in hand-to-hand combat with a German soldier reminds visitors that war can be intensely�personal. Continuing along Legacy Walk, a Navy corpsman works frantically to save a wounded Marine�during World War II. Looking up, visitors see a de Havilland DH-4 as its Marine pilot prepares to pick up a�message pouch during the Banana Wars of the 1920s. Also proudly displayed overhead is the UH-1E�Huey helicopter in which Maj Stephen Pless earned the Medal of Honor in 1968. Legacy Walk also�highlights the cooperative relationship between the Marine Corps and the United States Navy, and introduces the Marine air-ground team concept that became the foundation for the Marine air-ground�task force (MAGTF).
Special exhibits along Legacy Walk explore the meaning of the Marine Corps creed Semper Fidelis, the�history behind the Marines’ Hymn, and other facets of Marine Corps culture. Visitors can explore some�of the Marine Corps’ many non-combat roles in both the No Better Friend exhibit and the Terror Strikes�exhibit, the Marine Corps’ role during on September 11, 2001, and its aftermath. More personal and�reflective visitor experiences are found in the Semper Families and Never Forget exhibits: Semper�Families examines the evolution of the ...More...

2010 photos: My office at the main Commerce Department building closed in October and I was shifted out to the Bureau of the Census in Suitland Maryland. It's good to have a job of course but that killed being able to see basically any cultural events during the day. There's basically nothing of interest that you can see around the Census building. Overnight trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Lexington, KY and Nashville, TN), and my 5th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs until the third one broke and I started sending them back for repairs. Then I used either the Fuji S200EHX or the Nikon D90 until I got the S100fs ones repaired. At the end of the year I bought a Nikon D5000 but I returned it pretty quickly. Number of photos taken this year: about 395,000..
