 My name is Colonel Matt Palma. I am the commanding officer of the Recruit Training Regiment. I am assisted in my duties by my senior enlisted leader, Sergeant Major Paul Egan. Together we've had the distinct pleasure of observing your new Marines throughout their training and we couldn't be more proud of what they've accomplished in a short period of time. That said, we know that our jobs would have been much more difficult had it not been for the solid moral foundation that you laid for them back at home. Moreover, the love and support that you provided for them throughout their training has been absolutely critical to their success. We want to thank you for that love and support and you're going to need to continue to provide it as they continue on in their training. There's two other groups that I'd like to recognize today. First, if you've served in any branch of the armed forces, whether under the watchful eye of peace or during the time of war, we want to thank you for your service. That service has served as an example for all of us and especially for the Marines of Delta Company. Next, I'd like to recognize the officers and drill instructors that proudly wear these red t-shirts. They are the Marines of Delta Company. Had it not been for their hard work and dedication, the transformation from Recruit to Marine wouldn't even be possible. Do you know that there's been a drill instructor with your Marine every day and night since they stepped on our famous yellow footprints? That sort of dedication doesn't come without great sacrifice. Their young families have endured long periods of time away from their Marine for the benefit of your Marine. So I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank the officers, drill instructors, and families of Delta Company for a job well done, well done Delta Company and congratulations. Now, speaking of families, we know that great Marines come from great families and your new Marines are absolutely no different. Now like all Marines, we pride ourselves on being the most ready when our nation is the least ready. And during this current global pandemic, we have gone through extraordinary measures to make sure that your Marines are trained well and they are safe. Unfortunately, you can't be here for all of the events and normally you would be here for today's family day. However, I've gotten information that some of you are in possession of a golden ticket and will be able to join us for tomorrow's graduation. For those of you that can be here tomorrow, we look forward to celebrating that momentous occasion with you as your Marine graduates from recruit training here at MCRD San Diego. But for those of you that can't be with us, we want to thank you for your continued love and support. There's no doubt in my mind that they will share with you the incredible stories of their time here with us at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego and the legendary sea stories of their drill instructors. But until then, continue to write, send packages and support them from afar. Your Marines like all Marines pride themselves on being the most ready when the nation is the least ready. And them continuing on in their training is what is required of them right now. We want to thank you for that continued support. We also want to let you know that your Marine Corps is always here and always ready and will remain Semper Fidelis. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
