Chestnut stands at attention during the memorial service commemorating the 73rd Anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea May 8 at the USS Peary Gun Memorial, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.

The ceremony reflects cooperation to promote global and regional peace and prosperity between the Marine Corps and the Australian Defence Force to continue our tradition of more than 100 years of global partnerships and security cooperation.
