    Lance Cpl. Obie Dubose, an administrative clerk with the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit, presents a wreath to Tom Tait, mayor of Anaheim, and members of the city council during the Anaheim Veterans Day ceremony at the Anaheim Veterans Monument Nov. 10, 2011. The city of Anaheim formally adopted the 13th MEU in 2007 and has since shown support and solidarity with the Marines, sailors and their families. “The ceremony was a good way to remind Anaheim of the responsibilities of adopting a unit,” said David G. Custodio, a Marine Vietnam veteran and Anaheim native. “It also served as a reminder of the sacrifices generations of Anaheim residents have made.” The 13th MEU provided the color guard and escorts for the Marine Corps birthday cake during the ceremony, while Col. Christopher D. Taylor, commanding officer, 13th MEU, spoke on behalf of the unit. “Our freedom today is a direct reflection of what you have sacrificed for us,” said Taylor. He also read the names of five service members from Anaheim who have been killed since 2006 as a reminder of the sacrifices its residents have made.
