The U.S. Marine Corps’ motto “semper fidelis”—always faithful—will have special meaning for Consigli Construction Co. crews during the next year, as they construct an expansion to the Semper Fidelis Memorial Park at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, in Triangle, Va.
Opened in conjunction with the museum in 2006, the existing 23.3-acre memorial park provides a unique outdoor setting for visitors to remember and reflect on the accomplishments of the Marine Corps and individual Marines, with 40 memorials and more than a mile of wooded trails. The four-acre expansion, designed for the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation by Jacobs, will provide space for up to 22 additional memorials, including two 1,200-sq-ft grand memorials focused on honoring modern-day Marines.
