Always checking its press. You do realize the red stripe on the pants symbolizes the blood shed by Marines in defense of the USA,don't you? Of course, MSM could take a hint from the Marines and start publishing only truth and positive statements. What was the Reagan quote? Ahh, the Corps. Always checking its press.

Its engraved on the wall just as you enter Legacy walk, right next to the Making Marine's Gallery. Glad you enjoyed your visit, this was a great write-up. You'll have to come back in June 2010 when we open the new Galleries. BTW, posting a link to your blog on our facebook fan page. Safe travels! Actually, the Ronald Reagan quote is there.
