A VISIT TO QUANTICO, THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE MARINE CORP & QUANTICO NATIONAL CEMETARY

We headed to Quantico and had to go through a check-point and show ID to be admitted to the town.  It appears that there are sections of the town that you need to go through check-points but, at the same time, it's not all military and people live in Quantico that are non-military.

The Potomac River at Quantico

Not sure but think these are some of the barracks as there were quite a few buildings like this.

The famous statue of the flag planting at Iwo Jima on the corner by the entrance to Quantico

We then headed off to the National Museum of the Marine Corp.  It is an absolutely beautiful place and the exibits are fantastic.  It takes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to go through the exibits and it's well worth it. 

Front Entrance of the Museum

The beam that you can see part of coming out of the peak of the roof is on the same angle as the flag planted at Iwo Jima.

Not the best picture but this is the original flag used at Iwo Jima
