Marine Corps History for 2004 private Birthday Ball Yuma, Arizona

Since "operational committments" entailed cancelling the USMC Birthday Celebration this year (see my Telegram critique on this subject @Freedom
Doc1)--I thought I'd share this video we made years ago for a private celebration. What we have learned about the use and abuse of our military in recent years does not diminish the need for a premier fighting force to defend our nation, and I am honored to have served as a Navy Medical Corps Officer with the USMC. Happy 248th Birthday Marines!
