Yesterday, I joined thousands of #Marines, past and present, to celebrate the #MarineCorps’ 251st birthday with the @TheTunLegacy. Today, on #VeteransDay, I’m reflecting on the #Veterans I had the opportunity to spend the day with. To all who have worn the uniform, thank you!

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to connect with the Marine Corps League, Department of California and hear from #Marines who continue to serve our Corps in a different way. I’m truly grateful for the #veterans who continue to strengthen our tribe. #SemperFidelis!

Today I visited #NROTC #SanDiego to speak with future officers about the #Navy and #MarineCorps. Seeing smart, capable individuals choose a life of service is encouraging. For enlisted #Marines, programs like MECEP offer a path to earn a degree and become an officer!

I had the opportunity to visit Corporals Course 1-27 to spend time with @MCASMiramarCA Marines preparing to take on greater #leadership responsibilities. Our noncommissioned officers are the backbone of our Corps, and the example they set every day shapes their #Marines.
