ESOBUE 10 NOVEMBER 2019 A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS The more Marise hne anund the better ke i This year, the Marine Corps celebrates 244 years of warfighting excellence and uncommon valor. United States Marines define the world's image of elite warrior-citizens. We take great pride in the legacy built by those who came before us and in carrying that legacy into the future.
