<p>What a great day for Corporal Jason Dunham to be bestowed with the highest award this nation has to offer. He was a true born Marine and leader. God bless him, his family, and all of our Marines, who have/are serving past and present.</p>

<p>No, these aren’t special effects on a ride at Disney World. It’s the National Museum of the Marine Corps’ TokTong Pass immersive exhibit in the Korean War wing.</p>

<p>The new Marine Museum at Quantico is awesome!</p>

<p>I am planning a 30th reunion of one of my units for next June and a tour through the Museum will be one of the highlights...the other will be the Friday night sunset parade in DC.</p>
