Paxton Jr., who was the guest of honor at the Marine Barracks Washington 225th birthday cake cutting ceremony, held at Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., March 27, 2026. The symbolic passing of cake from Marine with the most time at 8th & I to the newest Marine represents the transfer of knowledge, experience, and tradition. The first piece goes to the guest of honor, and the second to the oldest Marine. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Brynn L. Bouchard)
