This past weekend, as we do every year at this time, our Marines were at the Manassas National Battlefield Park, doing just that – telling the Marine Corps story. Many of our Marines who attended are active duty, with tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. Our display was simply what the Marine in 1861 wore and carried at First Bull Run, compared to what the Marine wears and carries today. We also did presentations of the firing and drill of a Marine of 1861. The following photographs speak for themselves.
