Extremely proud of how these young Marines carried themselves at LA Fleet Week. ๐ Find them and recognize them. ๐ช Lady: โI canโt believe nobody here has been to war.โ Marine: โNo, maโam.โ Lady: โHow can you be representing war if you havenโt seen war?โ Marine: โWe are not representing war. We are representing what you can do for our country and our people.โ Lady: โYou can hear my opinion, but I donโt want your opinion.โ Lady: โIf you havenโt been to war, thatโs why you guys are here. If you were they wouldโve never brought you guys here.โ Lady 2: โWhen you say, โWhat can we do for our country?โ what about the homeless?โ Marines: โHave a nice day.โ Not a single raised voice. Not a single ounce of disrespect. Just young men and women standing in uniform, choosing discipline over anger and honor over ego. In a world that rewards outrage, they showed restraint. In a moment designed to provoke them, they answered with dignity. These Marines may not have seen war yet โ and we should pray they never have to โ but they already understand sacrifice, service, and what it means to put something greater than themselves first. Thatโs the kind of character this country is built on. ๐บ๐ธ Semper Fi.

๐จ๐บ๐ธ Today at Modern Day Marine, Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao spoke about his first love: โMy first love is the Marine Corps: Because it was the Marine Corps that took me out of Vietnam in 1975. It was the Marine Corps that met me in Guam, and it was the Marine Corps again at Camp Pendleton at the second refugee camp. In 1979, when the Shah of Iran was overthrown and I was living in West Africa, they brought us into the embassiesโand those Marines who stood watch over us that night said, โNothing is going to hurt you tonightโnot on my watch.โ So I wanted to be like those Marines. I wanted to be like those heroes when I grew up.โ Sir, I promise you thisโtodayโs Marines will make you fall in love all over again. Oorah.
