Stafford County, Va. ââ Those at Quantico on Tuesday will get a glimpse at what todayâs modern Marine looks like.
The Modern Day Marine exposition will showcase the latest products in military manufacturing, science, technology and warfighting.

Brian Villiard.
Opening ceremonies for the event will be held at 9:45 a.m., and the exhibits will be open from 10 a.m. until 3:39 p.m.
