Major Richard T. Spooner
and The Globe & Laurel
The Globe and Laurel was originally located on 509 Broadway Street in the town of Quantico, but in 1973 a fire gutted the original building. Subsequently we reopened in the town of Triangle, just outside the main gate of Marine Corps Base Quantico. In May 2008 because of a Prince William County construction project that widened US 1, which ran in front of the restaurant, the building was closed and destroyed. In 2008, The Globe & Laurel relocated to a bigger and better location in Stafford, Virginia, just a few miles south of the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
This restaurant is dedicated to fine dining and the perpetuation of the proud history and traditions of our Corps of Marines. It is a place in which patriotism and Americanism are still regarded with dignity and respect. Over the years our friends and guest have generously donated artifacts that have adorned the walls and ceilings.
Displays represent military and law enforcement organizations from around the globe and re a tribute to those who serve their country and community. Military memorabilia date from before the civil war. The semper fi room features a display that traces the evolution of the us marine emblem from its beginning to the present. Marines of the worlds are represented by the insignia displays on our walls.
The unique collection of civil police shoulder patches that cover the ceiling sis though thought to be one of the largest in the world. Since patches are unsolicited this display is very personal and meaningful to us.
The charm, atmosphere and camaraderie of the globe and laurel has been mentioned in numerous book and periodicals
