This year, MCBH reflects on the personal decisions why we chose to serve in the ranks of the world’s most elite fighting force. We celebrate the extraordinary people who took the risk to fight for something bigger than themselves, who believed that something greater was more powerful than the fear of the unknown, and those people are you. MCBH wishes all of the Marines a happy 244th birthday! (U.S. Marine Corps video by CWO3 Michael Kropiewnicki, SSgt Alisa Helin, and Sgt Luke Kuennen)
