I visited the National Museum of the Marine Corps in December. Again, a good experience regardless of how topical it might or might not be to your research project.
As a student in the DC area, I am fortunate to have tons of great resources for military history reserach nearby. I have not ventured into the National Archieves at College Park, but it's definitely on my to do list.

I have been to the National Museum of the Marine Corps, which, as you said, is a great experience.

Thanks for the tips!
