Marine Week St. Louis!

This past week I had the privilege and honor of representing the National Museum of the Marine Corps while attending Marine Week 2011 in St. Louis, Missouri (Go, Mizzou!).

I was in period costume, specifically the 1898 Spanish American War Marine Uniform, complete with blue shirt and white suspenders, tan trousers, brown leggings, black combat shoes, and topped off with a Campaign cover...

I was able to do some quick sketches, in between all the conversations about the Corps and its history, with all the citizens of St. Louey...
