 Good morning ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of Brigadier General Heritage, Commanding General of the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in the Western Recruiting Region, I want to virtually welcome you to sunny San Diego and today's Family Day message for Delta Company. My name is Colonel Matt Palma and I am the Commanding Officer of the Recruit Training Regiment. I am assisted in my duties by my senior enlisted leader, Sergeant Major Paul Agan in the Depot mascot, Manny, today. Together we have 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 our job would have been much more difficult had it not been for the solid 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 and we want to thank you. We also want to encourage you to continue that same level of support throughout their follow-on training. Now, there's a couple other groups I'd like to recognize in the virtual world 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, your service and sacrifice has served as an example for all of us and especially the Marines of Delta Company. Thank you, veterans. Next, are the officers and drill instructors that proudly wear these red t-shirts for those of the officers and drill instructors at Delta Company. Had it not been for their hard work and determination, the transformation from civilian to recruit and recruit to Marine wouldn't even be possible. Did you know that there's been a drill instructor with your new Marine every day and night since they stepped on our famous yellow footprints? That sort of dedication doesn't come without great sacrifice. Their families have endured long periods of time away from their Marine for the benefit of your Marine, which has only been complicated by this global pandemic. So to the officers, drill instructors and families of Delta Company, we want to congratulate you and thank you for a job well done and your continued support of your Marine. Now, speaking of families, we know great Marines come from great families and your new Marines are no different. We also appreciate how difficult it must be for you not to be able to be here today for the traditional family day events or tomorrow's graduation, which is a milestone event in the life of every Marine. Don't worry, we just completed the motivational run. They are healthy, happy, and like all Marines, ready to move on in training and pride themselves on being the most ready when the nation is least ready. Tomorrow after graduation, they will leave us and head north to the School of Infantry West, where they continue on in their training. Eventually they'll follow on schools and out to the Fleet Marine Force, where their leadership is eagerly awaiting their arrival. Between now and then, we hope that you will continue to love and support your Marine like you have done throughout bootcamp. They're going to need that support, but they will be well taken care of. Finally, we want to wish you good luck, good health, and may you always remember fondly the time when your Marines spent here at MCRD San Diego. And when they do get some time off, don't worry, they'll have plenty of sea stories to tell you about this historic place and their legendary drill instructors. Until then, your Marine Corps remains, Semper Fidelis. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
