From that\nprecarious beginning, the Marine Corps has evolved\ninto a fighting force which has commanded history's re-\nspect and America's pride.\nAs Commander-in-Chief, I salute the valor, loyalty and\ndetermination that have characterized the Marine Corps\nsince its earliest days. Strong in heart, in spirit and\nin arms, the Corps has gallantly defended the freedom\nwe all cherish.\nI know that I am joined by men and women across the na-\ntion in recognizing the critical importance of the Marine\nCorps and in wishing its members a happy two hundredth\nbirthday.\nHerald R.
