1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,072
(patriotic music)

2
00:00:02,072 --> 00:00:03,641
- It's important that we honor the past.

3
00:00:03,641 --> 00:00:05,465
We honor the fallen,
remember the sacrifices

4
00:00:05,465 --> 00:00:08,685
of all those who went before us.

5
00:00:08,685 --> 00:00:11,112
It's very important that 32 is here.

6
00:00:11,112 --> 00:00:15,994
They landed at 0910 on the
20th of November in 1943.

7
00:00:15,994 --> 00:00:16,882
We're out here at Betio

8
00:00:16,882 --> 00:00:18,278
because this is where
the landings occurred

9
00:00:18,278 --> 00:00:20,559
and we have elements of them
that are here with us today

10
00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:22,066
in order to carry on the legacy

11
00:00:22,066 --> 00:00:24,216
of the Marines who went before them.

12
00:00:24,216 --> 00:00:26,234
Tarawa is very important
to us as a Marine Corps

13
00:00:26,234 --> 00:00:28,908
and it lives in the annals
of all the important battles

14
00:00:28,908 --> 00:00:29,741
which defined our legacy.

15
00:00:29,741 --> 00:00:32,009
It lives on in the Fallen Me division.

16
00:00:32,009 --> 00:00:33,935
It lives on with the Keep Moving,

17
00:00:33,935 --> 00:00:37,102
the second Marines, that
lives on in the name of 32,

18
00:00:37,102 --> 00:00:39,416
but most important, it
lives on in the hearts

19
00:00:39,416 --> 00:00:40,373
of the young ones.

20
00:00:40,373 --> 00:00:41,976
These are Marines who went before them,

21
00:00:41,976 --> 00:00:44,791
with names like Bonnieman,
and names like Hawkins.

22
00:00:44,791 --> 00:00:46,907
Those names will live
forever, as long as we,

23
00:00:46,907 --> 00:00:48,526
who are honored to be Marines today,

24
00:00:48,526 --> 00:00:50,011
carry on with the eternal values

25
00:00:50,011 --> 00:00:52,118
of honor, courage and commitment

26
00:00:52,118 --> 00:00:55,785
and we will keep their
legacy alive forever.
