For every Marine who wore the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, and for every Marine who wears it proudly today – happy birthday.
For the 3,081 Marines missing in World War II…
the 684 missing in Korea…
the 289 missing in Vietnam…
and Staff Sergeant Hugh M. Lynch, lost aboard the EC-121 shot down by North Korea on April 15, 1969…
…your families and friends have never forgotten you.
Semper Fi.
