This New GWOT Museum Exhibit Is Filled With Artifacts Left Behind By Marines

This was a somber momen by me after reading the captions under each picture. You not only get to see a picture of a true Hero, his artifacts, he was wearing the day he died are on display at this museum. May God continue to bless this man and his loved ones. He made the ultimate sacrifice for his brothers in Arms.

The rifle and flak jacket of Marine Sgt. Rafael Peralta are just two artifacts from Iraq and Afghanistan that will be displayed at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
At a back room in a plain building in Quantico, Virginia, in wall lockers and cardboard boxes stacked neatly on top are artifacts from past wars. On a table at the rear of the room sits a number of items and personal effects belonging to Marines who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. There’s a bloodstained Kevlar helmet, worn by Lt. Col. Ty Edwards, who survived a headshot in Afghanistan during an ambush in 2008, as well as a woodland blouse and a pair of dog tags belonging to Medal of Honor recipient Jason Dunham. Dunham was killed in Iraq in 2004 after he leapt atop a hand grenade, giving his life to save two other Marines.
