Text description provided by the architects. As the main focus of the 135-acre Semper Fidelis Memorial Park, The National Museum of the Marine Corps, just outside of Washington D.C., opened in 2006 to coincide with the Marine Corps’ 231st anniversary. The primary building of the Marine Corps Heritage Center contains 120,000 square feet of museum gallery space, an orientation theater, office space, gift shop, and two restaurants, all welcoming visitors to explore the history and values of the Corps.

在为海军陆战队寻找最重要的标志时，芬特雷斯被有史以来最持久的照片之一感动-二战期间，海军陆战队的罗森塔尔(Rosenthal)照片和一名海军医护人员果断地将美国国旗竖立在硫磺岛素立巴奇山(MountSuribachi)上。

In seeking the most significant symbols for the Marines, Fentress was moved by one of the most enduring images of all time — the Rosenthal photograph of Marines and a Navy corpsman determinedly erecting the American flag atop Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima during World War II.

从那根早已升起的旗杆的角度来看，Fentress为博物馆提取了一个中心特征：一根210英尺高的钢桅杆，固定在入口大厅，支撑着一个带肋的锥形天窗。

From the angle of that long-ago flagpole being raised, Fentress distilled a central feature for the museum: a 210-foot steel mast that anchors the entry lobby and supports a ribbed, conical skylight.

桅杆是建筑物的标志性构件，是一个低吊装的圆形混凝土结构，部分由绿色屋顶覆盖。

The mast is a signature element of the building, a low-slung, circular concrete structure partially covered by a green roof.

这个形象真正体现了切斯特·尼米兹上将的话：“不寻常的勇敢是一种共同的美德。”

“攻占这座山”也启发了芬太斯将这座建筑建在95号州际公路可见的最高地面上，每天有100，000辆汽车经过。

The “taking of the hill” also inspired Fentress to site the building on the highest piece of ground visible from Interstate 95 by which 100,000 cars pass each day.
