Dear John,
Today, we celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States Marine Corps — a proud legacy of courage, honor, and sacrifice.
Since 1775, Marines have stood on the front lines defending our freedom and preserving the God-given rights upon which this nation was founded. Their steadfast devotion reminds us that liberty is never free — it must be guarded by those willing to stand in the gap.
To every Marine — past and present — we say thank you. Your strength, discipline, and service to our country reflect the highest ideals of faith and duty.
God bless the United States Marine Corps, and may He continue to bless America.
