For the third consecutive year, The Tun Legacy Foundation will exhibit at the Modern Day Marine Expo, held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, D.C. Modern Day Marine, the largest military equipment, systems, services and technology expo exclusively organized for the Marine Corps.
During the April 28-30 event, USMC leadership, Department of War, active duty and reserve service members and their families, and fellow exhibitors will learn about the Foundation’s efforts to rebuild the historic Tun. They will hear about our fundraising programs, which include keystone donor and plank owner opportunities, The Tun® 1775 Club, and The Tun® Brick Paver program.
The Foundation will be located at booth #2066 on the expo floor. If attending, stop by to connect with the Foundation’s founder, Pat Dailey; president and fundraising chair, Col. Matt Swindle, USMCR (Ret.); and board member and marketing chair, Ken Hopper.
