BALTIMORE—Donald Rollette, a retired Reserve Marine, stands beside his favorite collectable, an authentic World War II Marine Corps jeep, in front of his house in Baltimore, Oct. 16, 2012. Rollette has been collecting military items since he was 10 years old, eventually creating a personal museum in his basement. He takes the vehicle to many car shows and military displays where he won countless prizes for its authenticity. Just like all the pieces in his museum, it is an original vehicle with original parts.

Winston Burns Sr. was presented with a bronze replica of the Congressional Gold Medal Sept. 10, at Marine Corps Support Facility New Orleans. Approximately 420 Marines who attended segregated basic training at Montford Point, N.C., received the medal in ceremonies across the country this summer. The award was symbolically presented to all Montford Point Marines during a ceremony inside Emancipation Hall in the U.S. Capitol June 27. William McDowell, a Montford Point veteran himself, received the medal that day with roughly 400 of his fellows in attendance. The next day, those 400 received replicas of the original gold medal, which is currently being prepared for display in the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Va.
