    Members of the Marine Corps Historical Company and Single Marine Program Marines demonstrate how Civil War Marines would reload their Springfield Model 1861 Percussion Rifle Muskets in the prone position during the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Fort Fisher commemoration at Kure Beach, N.C., Jan. 17, 2015. The Marine Corps Historical Interpretive Team used battle walks, historical weapons demonstrations, and extensive exhibits to tell the story of Civil War Marines, showing the relevance and impact of the battle and its participants on today's Corps.
