Museum Unveils 9-11 Exhibit

Week of September 21, 2009

The National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Va., recently unveiled the latest revisions to its Global War on Terror exhibit, commemorating the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Artifacts from the World Trade Center and the Pentagon crash site -- an analog clock from the Pentagon stopped at 9:37 a.m., a Pentagon appointment book opened to Sept. 11, 2001, and personal belongings recovered from unidentified victims in the Ground Zero debris -- are among the items in the exhibit. The exhibit will be on display for about six months. After that time, the museum will continue its regular updates of photographs, paintings and artifacts of the Marine Corps' efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
