SUBJ/2D MARINE AIRCRAFT WING ANNIVERSARY//
GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  On behalf of all Marines, it is my pleasure to congratulate the Marines and Sailors of the 2d Marine Aircraft Wing as you celebrate 76 years of exceptional service to our nation.
2.  Since the wing's activation on 10 July 1941, the Marines and Sailors of 2d MAW have distinguished themselves in combat.  From World War II to Operation Enduring Freedom, from the Balkans to the skies over Libya, 2d MAW has earned a reputation for valiantly responding to every challenge.  You have made great contributions to the Marine Corps Aviation legacy and consistently proven you are “Second to None.”
3.  As you reflect on your heritage, Marines salute the courageous service of all who have served with 2d MAW.  We also join you in remembering those who gave their last full measure in defense of our great nation.  Congratulations on 76 years, and thank you for your dedicated service.
4.  Semper Fidelis.  Robert B. Neller, General, U.S. Marine Corps, Commandant of the Marine Corps.//
