ON BEHALF OF ALL MARINES, IT IS MY HONOR TO EXTEND HEARTFELT CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MARINES AND SAILORS OF THE 4TH MARINE DIVISION AS YOU CELEBRATE YOUR ANNIVERSARY ON 16 AUGUST. 2. SIXTY ONE YEARS AGO, THE 4TH MARINE DIVISION WAS ACTIVATED IN THE MIDST OF A WORLD IN CONFLICT. BY FIGHTING AND WINNING AGAINST A DETERMINED FOE IN THE BATTLES ON THE MARSHALL ISLANDS, SAIPAN, TINIAN, AND IWO JIMA, THE "FIGHTING FOURTH" CEMENTED ITS PLACE IN MARINE CORPS HISTORY. DURING THE COLD WAR, THE LIBERATION OF KUWAIT, AND NUMEROUS OTHER SHOWS OF FORCE, THE READINESS AND SKILL OF THE 4TH MARINE DIVISION HAVE BEEN AN INTEGRAL ELEMENT IN OUR CORPS' VITAL CONTRIBUTION TO OUR NATION'S SECURITY. 3. IN THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR, PORTIONS OF THE 4TH MARINE DIVISION ARE AGAIN ENGAGED IN GLOBAL CONFLICT, AND ONCE AGAIN THEY ARE SERVING WITH GREAT DISTINCTION. ALL MARINES SALUTE THE DIVISION'S SACRIFICES AND COURAGE, WHICH CONTINUE TO ADD TO OUR CORPS' RICH LEGACY OF WARFIGHTING EXCELLENCE. 4. AS YOU MARK THIS ANNIVERSARY, KNOW THAT MARINES EVERYWHERE WISH YOU CONTINUED SUCCESS. SEMPER FIDELIS AND KEEP ATTACKING! M. W. HAGEE, GENERAL, U.S. MARINE CORPS, COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS.// |
