Off Duty, travel - Marine Corps Times

National treasure hunt

Military history abounds across the country — if you know where to look. From Gen. Patton’s Cadillac to the flag that flew over Iwo Jima in Joe Rosenthal’s iconic photograph, we uncovered some of the most interesting artifacts on display to the public from past wars. We’ve omitted the obvious landmarks — the Marine Corps War Memorial in Washington D.C., key Civil War battlefields, etc. — and included some you may not have thought of. Each one illustrates the storied past of American military campaigns from the Revolutionary War to Vietnam.
