(quiet melancholy piano music)

00:04.280 --> 00:06.207
- You know, what makes Marine Week successful

00:06.207 --> 00:08.458
is when we come out and we meet Americans,

00:08.458 --> 00:10.766
when we're able to interact with the public.

00:10.766 --> 00:13.660
It's not our Marines, it's your Marines, Chicago,

00:13.660 --> 00:15.871
and we're able to interact and tell you our story

00:15.871 --> 00:18.072
so that you can connect with the Marine Corps.

00:19.510 --> 00:21.647
- It feels amazing to be back in my hometown,

00:21.647 --> 00:23.621
being able to fly over the city, being able to

00:23.621 --> 00:25.759
showcase it to the Marines here.

00:26.834 --> 00:28.762
We enjoy giving back to the community and

00:28.762 --> 00:30.518
working hand-in-hand with them.

00:31.676 --> 00:34.844
- [Staff Sergeant Gustavo Felix] And just 
being able to come back to my hometown

00:34.844 --> 00:37.742
and being able to socialize, that means a lot to me.

00:37.742 --> 00:40.671
I'm able to kind of bring back my experiences

00:40.671 --> 00:42.924
and kind of show the world what the organization

00:42.924 --> 00:44.984
has done for me and my family.

00:44.984 --> 00:46.995
- When you go through your initial training,

00:46.995 --> 00:48.708
you're coming back here.

00:48.922 --> 00:48.130
here .

00:49.812 --> 00:52.738
