Memorial Day at Sea

During my last deployment in 2008 we had the chance to hold a Memorial Celebration while deployed in the Pacific Ocean, here you will see some clips from a speech by our back then Commanding Officer Captain M.A. Hitchcock and then followed by one of our fellow Marines reading the poem "Remember Them" by Jeff Hooker.

This footage was take by me on May 26, 2008 on-board the USS Peleliu (LHA-5)

Hope you enjoyed the video

Feel free to share and "Like" this video, all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Have a great Memorial Day! :)
