The National Museum of the Marine Corps and Heritage Center
The Museum is a joint venture of the United States Marine Corps and the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. The Foundation is raising the private funds necessary to build the National Museum of the Marine Corps. This effort is being complimented by the Marine Corps' obligation of funds for artifact restoration and architectural exhibit design. A volunteer leadership board, the Founder's Group, is leading the call to action for private-sector donations. Over 50,000 Marine Corps veterans and others have contributed gifts totaling several million dollars.

We plan to tell, and preserve forever, this uniquely American story of contribution and sacrifice, valor and victory. We will tell it through the eyes of Marines, whose story it is to tell. We will tell it with a clarity and strength befitting the world's premier fighting force, an institution that predates the founding of the Republic. We will tell it through the National Museum of the Marine Corps and Heritage Center.
That is our vision. And this is our vision statement . . . Through the Eyes of Marines.
