ON BEHALF OF ALL MARINES, IT IS MY HONOR TO CONGRATULATE THE SAILORS OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY AS YOU MARK YOUR ANNIVERSARY ON THE THIRTEENTH OF OCTOBER. 2. TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE YEARS AGO, THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS AUTHORIZED THE FUNDING OF TWO ARMED, SWIFT SAILING VESSELS FOR THE CONTINENTAL NAVY TO DEFEND OUR YOUNG NATION'S FREEDOM. SINCE 1775, MARINES AND SAILORS HAVE FOUGHT SIDE BY SIDE FROM THE DECKS OF THE BONHOMME RICHARD, TO THE SANDS OF IWO JIMA, AND TO THE CURRENT BATTLES AND CAMPAIGNS OF THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR. WE HAVE FORGED A STRONG BOND OF BROTHERHOOD AND A COMMITMENT TO WARFIGHTING EXCELLENCE THAT HAS ACHIEVED UNRIVALED COMMAND OF THE SEAS. IN FAR-FLUNG PLACES AROUND THE GLOBE, THE NAVY-MARINE CORPS TEAM HAS BOLDLY GONE IN HARM'S WAY IN DEFENSE OF COUNTRY'S SECURITY. 3. ON THIS ANNIVERSARY, KNOW THAT MARINES EVERYWHERE SHARE IN YOUR PRIDE FOR YOUR MANY LASTING ACHIEVEMENTS AND HONOR YOUR RICH HERITAGE. FOR WELL OVER TWO CENTURIES, SAILORS OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY HAVE DISTINGUISHED THEMSELVES IN PEACE AND WAR WITH PROFESSIONALISM, DEDICATION, AND SELFLESS SERVICE. WE ARE PROUD OF OUR LONG AND CLOSE ASSOCIATION AND LOOK FORWARD TO WITNESSING THE ADDITION OF NEW AND INSPIRING CHAPTERS TO YOUR ILLUSTRIOUS LEGACY IN THE FUTURE. 4. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND SEMPER FIDELIS, M. W. HAGEE, GENERAL, U. S. MARINE CORPS, COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS. | |||
