U.S. Marines with Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force-250 attend Marine Week Nashville in Nashville, Tennessee, June 6, 2025. The Marines provided assistance with re-logging a path and playing with cats and dogs in order to foster positive relationships and create a lasting impression with the community. Throughout 2025, Marines across the globe will celebrate the 250th birthday of the Corps, commemorating service, sacrifice, and priding themselves on living ‘Semper Fidelis’, or ‘Always Faithful’ to their nation and to each other.

Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Troy E. Black was in the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corps (JROTC) in high school. Black shared with me a little bit of his prequel, one that predates his time in the Marine Corps, but would come to define it and his life as a whole.
