Brighten up the holidays at the National Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico on December 3 at 4 p.m. with the lighting of the 30 ft. Christmas tree.
It is fitting that 75 years later we should continue to honor those sacrifices. The official “tree lighter” is Jack Elliott, a WWII veteran who also served in Korea and Vietnam and currently serves as a docent at the Museum.
It’s become one of my favorite, annual Christmastime traditions — seeing the President’s Own Marine Corps Band perform live at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
The Marine Corps Band will perform at 7:30 p.m on Saturday, Dec. 14 inside the museum’s Leatherneck Gallery, as it does every year. The concert is free to attend, but the band always packs the house, so you’ll want to arrive early to get a good seat.
The National Museum of the Marine Corps will be holding an illuminated tour of Semper Fidelis Memorial Park from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, November 15.
The path will be lit with luminarias to guide visitors and spotlights will highlight the many stunning monuments dedicated to Marine Corps history, including a statue of Marine Corps General Lejeune, commonly referred to as the ‘greatest of all Leathernecks’ and ‘The Marine’s Marine.’
