Journey back in time to Japan's ancient culture, where Geishas embodied the wisdom of 'See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil.' Meanwhile, in a different world, a gold rush was igniting in California, as advertised in this vibrant poster. Fast forward to the present, Sir Edward George Clarke and Joseph Chamberlain may not have been mining for gold, but they were shaping the political landscape. Back to the battlefield, Marines from different eras continue to make history, from firing 100-pound rounds from their M777 Lightweight Howitzers in Japan during the early 21st century, to combat operations in Afghanistan, where a U.S. Marine fires a mortar round. The power of progress, from the Far East to the New World, and from the past to the present.
