USMC Quantico Band
Triangle, VA – The newly built “Semper Fidelis Memorial Chapel” was dedicated on 22 OCT 2009 with hundreds of people attending the glorious event on the grounds of the National Museum of the Marine Corps.

Among the hundreds of photos I captured that day, I’ve shown only two that appear on my website (available for purchase with prints upto 20″ x 30″) at http://www.john-michael.net/
