There will be limited showings of We, The Marines for the reopening weekend, subsequently we encourage you to visit the Foundation’s website for the full listing of showtimes.

We, The Marines, the Theater’s signature film, narrated by Academy Award-winning actor and Marine Gene Hackman, immerses audiences in the experience of joining and serving in the U.S. Marine Corps.

The film follows the journey of Marines from boot camp to training, deployment, and, finally, homecoming. The film was produced specifically for the Museum’s Medal of Honor Theater.

The Foundation has made changes to the Theater based on state and federal guidelines to create a safer environment for guests, volunteers, and staff.

Face coverings are required for all guests and staff over the age of two. Three seats will be left between each group of viewers, and new cleaning protocols have been put in place.

The museum is located at 18900 Jefferson Davis Highway, just outside the main gate of Quantico Marine Corps Base.

A program to match the money Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients spend at the Dale City Farmers Market has proven to be a success.

Since the program’s initiation five year ago, people have been taking advantage of the opportunity to get fresh fruits and vegetables and other eligible food.

According to Elizabeth Borst, executive director of Virginia Community Food Connections, which runs the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Virginia Fresh Match Program, "In these five years, we have developed the program at the Dale City Farmers Market into the largest SNAP and match program in Virginia. It is more successful than we dreamed. Last year, we did a total of $78,876 in SNAP and Virginia Fresh Match incentives in Dale City, in 1,482 transactions."
