00:01.649 --> 00:03.628
- [Lieutenant Colonel David Sierleja] So Marine Week is important

00:03.628 --> 00:05.358
to the Marine Corps because

00:05.358 --> 00:07.625
it differs from our normal job,

00:07.625 --> 00:10.122
which is we go to the field,

00:10.122 --> 00:13.109
we train to be the most ready when the nation is least ready.

00:13.109 --> 00:14.618
What we're showing is the

00:14.618 --> 00:17.347
other side of the Marine Corps, right?

00:17.347 --> 00:19.728
The person, the man, the woman,

00:19.728 --> 00:21.793
that is behind the cloth.

00:21.793 --> 00:23.490
(quiet solemn music)

00:23.490 --> 00:26.068
- [Taylor Neaton] They've been so friendly and just waving.

00:26.068 --> 00:28.238
And we were at a bar,

00:28.238 --> 00:31.222
the Marine Band was playing, and getting to dance and sing

00:31.222 --> 00:33.764
with the Marines and the Nashville locals has been amazing.

00:33.764 --> 00:36.708
I think just learning about the history

00:36.708 --> 00:38.508
about the Marines and then just,

00:38.508 --> 00:41.006
you know, getting to really hear everyone's story

00:41.006 --> 00:42.722
and just chat with them has been amazing.

00:42.722 --> 00:44.477
(quiet solemn music)

00:45.266 --> 00:47.063
- [Sergeant Major Carlos A. Ruiz] What a 
beautiful way for the Corps

00:47.063 --> 00:49.053
to give back to the community

00:49.053 --> 00:51.030
by showing up for the community.

00:51.030 --> 00:53.184
They're not doing it for themselves.

00:53.184 --> 00:55.437
They're doing it because

00:55.437 --> 00:57.866
the people who developed them

00:57.866 --> 01:00.599
and allowed them to be on the field and win,

01:01.428 --> 01:03.232
they're paying homage to them.

01:03.232 --> 01:05.825
(solemn orchestral music)

01:07.839 --> 01:09.569
- [Rick Sweet] It always makes me proud

01:09.569 --> 01:11.569
to be surrounded by Marines.

01:11.569 --> 01:13.718
(grand music)

01:13.910 --> 01:16.863
I always love it when the Corps is in town.

01:16.863 --> 01:19.237
I get goosebumps just talking about it.

01:19.237 --> 01:22.565
(slow sweeping music)

01:37.550 --> 01:39.133
- [Sierleja] The culture,

01:39.133 --> 01:42.846
the ambiance, and the music, it pulls you in.

01:42.846 --> 01:44.159
It's a tremendous city.

01:44.159 --> 01:46.422
We would be honored to be back here every single year.
