Got $600? If so, you can get married or new your vows this year at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.

The Marine Corps Heritage Foundation is offering a special Valentine’s Day wedding package on the day before the holiday, on February 13, 2021, at the museum’s Semper Fidelis Memorial Chapel. Couples will be able to hold a small rustic wedding ceremony or renew their vows in the memorial chapel, located on the museum grounds.


Visitors who want to visit the exhibit halls of the National Museum of the Marine Corps will be turned away starting Monday, November 23.

The museum announced it will temporarily close its building to the public due to the rising number of cases of coronavirus in Virginia. The museum details its plans in a press release.


Earlier this week, we were the first to tell you efforts to replace a washed-out bridge on Joplin Road — a popular byway linking the midsection of Prince William County to Interstate 95 and Quantico Marine Corps Base — could last into spring.

Today, the Virginia Department of Transportation released more information about the project.


Quantico residents are pushing transportation officials to resume local bus service to the only town in the nation surrounded by a U.S. military installation.

OmniRide discontinued service to the town in March and instead told residents to call a cab to take them to the nearest bus stop, just outside the base on Route 1 in Triangle.


It could be next spring when drivers will be able to make the full trip down Joplin Road.

The popular, winding, two-lane thoroughfare connects Independent Hill, near the Prince William County Public Schools headquarters, to Interstate 95, at the Quantico National Cemetery.


The Marine Corps Marathon Organization canceled a live version of its annual Turkey Trot 10K and Mile that had been scheduled to take place at Quantico Marine Corps Base.
