I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

4. MCMLEG_061113_150.JPG: "Chopper" Missions: "You just had to close your eyes and drop down to the deck." -- Captain Howard B. Henry, helicopter pilot, Operation Starlite. Vietnam was foremost a helicopter war. The war-torn landscape of I Corps incessantly echoed the steady whup-whup-whup of rotor blades lifting Marines to battle, evacuating their wounded, attacking the enemy. In 1968 alone, the Marines flew 671,000 "chopper" missions. Pilots of consummate skill necessarily flew low and slow to discharge their dangerous assignments. Enemy fire downed more than 250 Marine helicopters in the war. An additional 170 crashed in operations accidents.

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 Marine Corps family; while the Never Forget area is the most reverent exhibit, honoring the ultimate sacrifice made by some Marines and their families.
As visitors move along Legacy Walk, photographs, maps, iconic artifacts, and life-like cast figures capture the courage of individual Marines and the evolution of the Marine Corps as a whole. Future plans expand Legacy Walk with new galleries that cover the Marine Corps’ history from 1975 to 2015. See the Museum’s Final Phase page for more information on future galleries.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
