UNVEILING OF PAINTINGS

Earlier this summer, the MCRD San Diego Museum unveiled a series of paintings by Marine veteran and artist, Jesse Alwin. The ribbon cutting ceremony was attended by the Commanding General of MCRD San Diego/Western Recruiting Region, Brigadier General David C. Hyman, Depot staff and volunteers, and by the artist and his wife, Dahve Alwin.

Alwin painted the series to commemorate the Marine Corps' 250th Birthday, and features the Depot's unit insignia, flanked on either side by a Colonial Marine and a 21st Century Marine. The paintings are displayed on the second floor of the MCRD San Diego Museum.

All photos are courtesy of the U.S. Marine Corps, by Cpl Evelyn Doherty.

The MCRD San Diego Museum is grateful for the recent help provided by the Miramar Young Marines and the MCRD Museum Foundation. These young volunteers, along with with their leaders and Active Duty Marines who volunteer with the group, and the MCRD Museum Foundation replanted landscaping in the front of the museum, and in the museum courtyard.

The MCRD Museum could NOT operate without its volunteers and without the support of the MCRD Museum Foundation. Thank you@miramaryoungmarines and for your continued assistance!
