WASHINGTON -- Congratulations to the Marines and Sailors of the 1st Marine Division on your 74th anniversary. Since your activation in 1941, your battlefield performance in places like Guadalcanal, the Chosin Reservoir, Hue city, Fallujah and Afghanistan has left an indelible mark on the history of our corps. As you celebrate this anniversary, take the time to reflect on the Marines and Sailors who have served in the 1st Marine Division and selflessly sacrificed for our nation and corps.
— Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., 36th Commandant of the Marine Corps
