00:03.130 --> 00:05.352
Marines , today we gather for something

00:05.352 --> 00:07.297
truly special . As we approach the

00:07.297 --> 00:09.186
250th birthday of our corps , the

00:09.186 --> 00:11.297
Marines at Camp Bage will participate

00:11.297 --> 00:13.352
in a motivational run to commemorate

00:13.352 --> 00:15.297
250 years of honor , courage , and

00:15.297 --> 00:17.241
commitment , paying tribute to the

00:17.241 --> 00:19.297
legacy of the Marine Corps and their

00:19.297 --> 00:21.519
endurance presence on Guam . Every step

00:21.519 --> 00:23.574
we take honors the legacy of Marines

00:23.574 --> 00:25.797
who came before us , veterans who carry

00:25.797 --> 00:27.908
the weight of battle , who uphold our

00:27.908 --> 00:29.908
values and who pave the way for our

00:29.908 --> 00:32.019
core we serve in today . Here at Camp

00:32.019 --> 00:34.200
Blas , that legacy carries a unique

00:34.200 --> 00:37.080
meaning . In 1944 , Marines played a

00:37.080 --> 00:39.413
decisive role in the liberation of Guam ,

00:39.479 --> 00:41.720
freeing this island from occupation and

00:41.720 --> 00:43.776
forging an unbreakable bond with the

00:43.776 --> 00:46.810
people of Guam . That history is part

00:46.810 --> 00:50.090
of the soul of our core . And it is a

00:50.090 --> 00:52.240
legacy we're proud to carry forward

00:52.240 --> 00:54.889
every day . To our veterans , thank you

00:54.889 --> 00:56.722
for the path you forged . To our

00:56.722 --> 00:58.333
Marines , thank you for your

00:58.333 --> 01:00.556

01:02.445 --> 01:04.389

01:04.389 --> 01:07.139
legacy as well . Marines , happy 250th
