Went to the USMC Museum today with my brother and Dad.
The Main Entrance!
Inside the Atrium there are 2 Corsairs, a Harrier, some Biplane, and two Dioramas. Elsewhere...
Me standing in front of a Ch-46 hull at the Khe Sanh exhibit. You walk through the Hull to get to the exhibit. The room is noticably warmer than the rest of the Vietnam era exhibit, and of course there are explosions and lights and what not.
You can even smell the Hydraulic Fluid. They've done something with the Hull. It vibrates and everything.
There is a similar Chosin room that is freakin' cold.
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

I don't believe so. The center tower(It's referred to as a "Mast" inside) is suppose to evoke raising the Flag on Mt. Suribachi.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
