We are building a 25,000 square foot museum and integrating our educational programs within the mission of Carolina Museum of the Marine (CMOTM). The Museum’s Al Gray Marine Leadership Forum will teach the core values, strategic thinking skills, and leadership traits and principles that are emblematic of the United States Marine Corps.  CMOTM’s overarching educational mission is to use the example of the Marine to inspire future generations.

Since 1775, the United States Marine Corps has been integral to the security of our country. Integral to the mission of the Corps are the core values of honor, courage, and commitment.  The histories of the Marine Corps and of the United States Navy are graced with a wealth of examples of these core values in action.  This history is worthy of remembrance and respect.

The three most important things the Marine Corps does for the Nation are make Marines, win our Nation’s battles, and return quality citizens.  CMOTM is dedicated to remembering and honoring the many achievements of Carolina Marines and Sailors, and to bringing those achievements to the American public.  You will meet the Marine and be inspired.

Warm Regards and Semper Fidelis,
