Marine Corps’ 247th birthday message emphasizes confidence, lethality
By Irene Loewenson
 Nov 7, 06:44 PM


The commandant of the Marine Corps on Tuesday released his annual birthday message, which emphasizes the confidence and toughness of Marines in battle.

A minute and a half into the nearly 11-minute video, the soundtrack goes silent.

“What keeps you awake at night?” the video shows former defense secretary and legendary retired Marine Gen. Jim “Mad Dog” Mattis being asked on CBS’ Face the Nation in 2017.

“Nothing,” Mattis replies. “I keep other people awake at night.”

Mattis’ unflinching attitude sets the tone for the rest of the video, which largely focuses on the Corps’ long war-fighting mission, including Belleau Wood in France in 1918 and Ramadi, Iraq, in 2006.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
