The new US Marine Corps Memorial, Quantico, Virginia.

     A noncommissioned officer stationed at Fort Meyer, Virginia, (anonymously) writes:
     . . . a photo I took of it while driving to work on I-95 on a Thursday morning (11:25-ish, 'light' traffic). I also included one of the Iwo Jima memorial which I think it's supposed to be a reference to. It's interesting to go from artistic-solemn-dignified to "WTF is that thing?"  Interesting side note, they found plenty of money to build it, but not enough to run & maintain it, so it has to all be done by volunteers, usually Marine Corps retirees.  Semper Fi
