U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Culver Switzer, a rifleman with the United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon, Marine Barracks Washington, is presented a piece of cake by retired Sgt. William Marvin Parks, a Marine Corps veteran of the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir, during a 250th Marine Corps birthday ceremony at City Hall in Murfreesboro, near Nashville, Tenn., June 4, 2025. As the youngest Marine present, Switzer participated in the traditional cake-cutting ceremony, receiving the first piece from the oldest Marine in attendance, symbolizing the passing of Marine Corps knowledge and tradition from one generation to the next. The Silent Drill Platoon’s presence in Nashville for Marine Week 2025 underscores the Corps’ commitment to honoring its legacy and connecting with communities across the country.
