This exhibition, largely comprised of pieces from the inaugural Combat Art Gallery collection at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, explores three themes: "Every Clime and Place," which illustrates the Corps' ability to respond rapidly to any location; "No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy," which portrays Marines capable of fighting the enemy but also delivering aid to those in need; and "The Price," which provides a glimpse into the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform and their families.
