HONORING 25 YEARS OF RESILIENCE AND REMEMBRANCE
On September 12, 2026, the MCRD Museum Foundation proudly presents the Globe and Anchor Salute Gala at the MCRD San Diego Command Museum, an evening designed not only to remember, but to celebrate the strength, unity, and enduring spirit of our community. Marking the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, this special event honors the lives we lost while also shining a light on the resilience, courage, and commitment that rose in its wake.
Guests will enjoy an inspiring and uplifting evening filled with engaging guest speakers, meaningful storytelling, and moments of reflection woven together with a warm, celebratory atmosphere. Surrounded by history and tradition, we will come together to connect, share, and recognize the values of duty, honor, and sacrifice that continue to define the Marine Corps community.
The Gala is not only a tribute, it is a gathering of gratitude, pride, and camaraderie. It’s a chance to celebrate how far we’ve come, the bonds we share, and the legacy we continue to build together.
Join us for an unforgettable evening that balances remembrance with appreciation, and reflection with celebration.
