2013 Marine Corps Birthday Message Enduring Fortitude, Unfailing Valor
Celebrating the 238th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps on
November 10, 2013 ... the Commandant of the Marine Corps,
Gen James F. Amos, and the SgtMaj. of the Marine Corps,
SgtMaj Micheal P. Barrett, proudly speak about the timeless
Marine qualities of courage and perseverance by looking back
on the landing on Tarawa in WWII, the Battle of Hue City
during Vietnam, and crossing the berm into Iraq during the
War on Terror. Marine determination, grit and valor make the
Corps the ready force America relies on in times of crisis.
