Description of Subject Matter: Global Expeditionary Force
1866-1916
As America’s western frontier disappeared, its citizens looked with envy toward the overseas colonial empires possessed by European powers and the business opportunities in those distant places. This new interest in expanding and protecting American interests overseas created new roles for the U.S. Navy and the Marine Corps. The Marine Corps developed new capabilities to help the Fleet dominate the high seas, and traditional deployments as small, shipboard detachments gave way to larger Marine Corps formations.
As America extended its reach, the Marine Corps saw its role expand around the globe.

Marines landed in China in 1900 to help protect western diplomats and their families from an anti-foreign uprising in Peking. American newspapers highlighted Marines’ heroics during the epic siege and its relief. During the decade before World War I, Marines fought in Mexico, arrested seal poachers in the Bering Sea, and quelled disorder and protected U.S. citizens in Panama, Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.
Visitors walk through a tent pitched at a camp during the Philippine insurrection to get a glimpse of what life was like for the Marines who had just come back from yet another exhausting patrol. This gallery is especially rich in artifacts—from the Marine Corps and from distant lands. Campaign hats uniform coats, cartridge belts, flags once planted on foreign shores, a field heliograph, medals, and personal items help interpret the era. Among these objects are articles ...More...

2006 photos: Trips this year: Florida (two separate trips including Lotusphere and taking care of mom), three weeks out west (including Yellowstone), Williamsburg, San Diego (comic book convention), and Georgia.
Equipment this year: I was using all six Fuji cameras at various times -- an S602Zoom, two S7000s,a S5200, an S9000, and an S9100. The majority of pictures this year were taken with the S9000. I have to say, the S7000s was the best camera I've used up to this point..
Number of photos taken this year: 183,000.
