Too hot in Iraq, too cold in the mountains in Afghanistan.

Just right in IRAN.

Let's roll!!!

From the MCHF site:

"the museum's soaring design evokes the image of the flag raisers of Iwo Jima and beckons visitors to its 100,000 square foot structure."

Some printed literature also lists:

• An aircraft's powerful takeoff
• A howitzer firing at close-range targets - its barrel steeply elevated
• The Marine Rifleman bursting through the surf and barbed wire at Tarawa
• The sharpshooters scrambling up the rigging to man thier "Fighting Tops"
• The Leathernecks climbing the cargo nets after another amphibious assault

But whatever you think it looks like, its all good.

OOORRRAAAAAHHHH!

Oh Shoot, I thought I was replacing the original post.

I don't care how many times you post the pics - I still look at 'em and like 'em! Thanks for the up-close-and-personal updates!!!!

Man, I wish I would have seen this before I went to the Marines 4 Life luncheon today. I would have made copies to give away.

That's ok, I will email it out to the network.

I can't wait for it to be open, I want to go visit... like now. lol
