Iwo Jima Veterans and 3rd AmTrac Marines Visit the Command MuseumView Other Galleries »    Sgt. Show and his Marines from 3rd AmTrac Battalion from Camp Pendleton came down to MCRD on Friday, Feb. 17, 2006, expecting to see a recruit graduation parade. When they got here they were disappointed to learn it was an open week-- no graduation parade was scheduled. So, they decided to visit the Command Museum. Little did they realize that this would be their lucky day--the Iwo Jima veterans were scheduled to visit the Museum that same morning. So, as luck would have it, the two groups came together, and in a proud Marine Corps tradition, spent the morning sharing their personal and professional experiences from duty at Iwo Jima and in Iraq. For each group it was a memorable experiences--for Sgt. Show and his Marines, something to keep in mind as they prepare to leave next month for Iraq. The MCRD Command Museum Where the Past... ...touches the Future! |
