Lieutenant Col. Carl E. Cooper, the 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment commanding officer, and Sgt. Maj. Jeffrey G. Monssen, the battalion’s sergeant major, fold the battalion colors Aug. 13, 2013 during the battalion’s deactivation ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. “The sergeant major and I were proud to do it,” said Cooper. “There will be a time when the battalion is established again and we will have to unfurl those colors.” This ceremony marked the fifth time the battalion has been deactivated since its origination in 1917.
