Jacob Hug, a local Marine who lost his life during a Nepal earthquake relief effort in May 2015. Each year during Marine Week, the service selects a metro area to host special events and activities, allowing the Marine Corps to connect with the public and showcase who they are and what they do for the nation.

McCormick Stillman RR Park – Merci Boxcar
The Merci Train comprised 49 French railroad box cars filled with tens of thousands of gifts of gratitude from at least that many individual French citizens. They were showing their appreciation for the more than 700 American box cars of relief goods sent to them by (primarily) individual Americans in 1948. Arizona’s boxcar is displayed at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, and some of its contents are displayed in the park’s museum building.
