I being the youngest Marine at the Marine Corps Ball had the honor to cut the cake with the oldest Marine, a Marine who fought in the Battle of Belleau Wood. An honor I will never forget.
Thé anniversaire were celebrated in the French North Border over the Norman Coast border with the presence of the eldest vétérans who fought on these bloody Frensh Seas while Us Forces landed on the D Day on Omaha Beach Wistream over the English Normand Islands Us forces landed to fight during the 2nd WW to fight the Nazism they did it Helped France to gain Freedom Freedom They landed in Moroccan too were present in Kenitra miles away from Rabat on the Us military Base untill the 1980th Today USA is planning to install a huge sophisticated military Base with high level efficient missiles Tanks armored weapons!

I’m a young man who aspires to enlist in the Corps after high school, and I’d like to say that it is the Marines of the past who continue to inspire me to join the best of the best, and defend freedom. ~Future U.S Marine Marcus Delk ⚓️🌎🦅
You go for it Marcus! A young man who has a future planned. Stay in school, graduate (which it seems you’re directly on the path of doing), and pursue your worthy goal of becoming a USM. I am not a veteran, but most family members were/are, including many Marines. My only suggestion to you would be to enroll in as much advanced education (I.e.: University) as your MOS, duty-station and time permits, so you will have additional, in-demand, marketable skills post-enlistment, whether that be six years or a pension 20+. Every single family veteran and friend have given this advice. Best wishes.

@@trisha4given : Congratulations to you, especially your soon-to-be USM who survived Basic Recruit Training and with The Crucible soon to be behind him, finally and justly awarded his coveted Eagle-Globe-Anchor and no longer addressed “Recruit” but Marine. You must be Proud as a Peacock! Well done by your son. Best wishes.
Today as I was leaving a store (wearing my USMC) hat, a hand grabbed my left shoulder from behind. My right hand turned into a fist and I turned to see a one armed man and his wife looking at me. He said "Thank you for our freedom". I have been thanked for my service but that left me speechless for a few seconds. Semper Fi and thank everyone for recognizing vets.
As former Marine, this is one of the battles that we studied and it left a legacy of valor and perseverance that every subsequent Marine would have to live up to. No Marine wants to be the weak link and fall short of that standard. Semper Fi to the men that fought bravely and fell that day to inspire our future Corps to do great things from that day forward.
@Grunt USMC I hear ya Brother, Long Live The Legend of Chesty Puller. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant and greetings from Charleston, West Virginia
I I’m a 20 year Marine Corps vet, still a Marine. Always a Marine as our past and present brothers and sisters are. Born our name of Devil Dog in those woods, and to be remembered by the legion , at that ceremony, is also an honor, to us and SgtMaj Dan Daliey and his Marines. And to us , my Corps, who sacrifice today, thank you
The Devil Dogs story is an American invention, it has nothing to do with the Germans. There are examples of it being used in US newspapers six weeks before Belleau Wood actually happened. Kinda embarrassing really makes you wonder what other stories about Belleau Wood aren't true?
It’s amazing that now, 105 years later, US Marines and members of the Bundeswehr stood arm in arm to remember when their great grandfathers were killing each other on that ground a century ago.
They were by themselves for two weeks before our Allies rejoined the fight. These Marines met the Germans head on as every Allied army retreated as the Marines marched to the front.

He was right. They are truly living forever. They are living in the hearts and souls of every Marine who truly loves their country and corps. I take it very personally when these men are disrespected. I feel the need to defend them for they are not here. It’s natural though. They are my brothers from a different mother. Semper Fi my brothers. I got this fight for all of you. Rest easy again Bro’s.

Why? I read it, its a good historical book about his views of that time in USA politics and history. USA is not the same as in 1920's and '30's. WW2 made Butlers book an anachronism for any time afterward, including today.

History to never be forgotten. Semper Fi! On a side note, the narration of this video was lame and terrible. No fluctuation, and narration by a man with a deep voice like the old commercial or an old male marine corps veteran would have been more applicable.
At least the Marine Corps didn't publish a woke gay message this Memorial Day like last year. I hope that those responsible were drummed out of the Corps.
As much as I love this, the adversary during WW1 were not Nazi's nor did they start WW1. To say that they threatened "freedom" or anybody's freedom is dishonest. Let the memory of those who fought and died at Belleau Wood live forever and may they rest in peace.
