 Four years running, four incredible successes. This year's Marine Week was hosted in Cleveland, where the Marines added to the event's already stellar reputation built from previous years in Chicago, Boston and St. Louis. And they did it while bringing in record-breaking crowds. More than 80,000 people alone attended the weekend's Marine Air Ground Task Force demonstration. Our mission has been successfully completed. Inside of seven days, 700-plus Marines connected with the good people of Cleveland, thank you for your steadfast support. We know Cleveland now has a greater knowledge of our rich history and our tradition and why the Corps is America's expeditionary force and readiness. Many more Clevelanders visited the various displays around the city throughout the week. Marines gave Osprey rides, restored city parks, and painted a mural to name a few, all done in the spirit of community, country, and core. They also teamed up with local police to guard the traveling Vietnam War Memorial Wall. Twenty-one of the 36 guardsmen once wore the nation's uniform. You know, service is a great calling, but it's not for everyone. But whoever it's for, they always leave the situation or the people that they've served in a better situation than when they found it. And that's what I believe Marine Corps and all of our members of the armed forces do for our nation. Serving local communities is what Marine Week is all about, leaving citizens with fresh perspectives on the men, women, and capabilities of the Marine Corps, while celebrating 236 years of service in only seven days. From Marine Week Cleveland, I'm Sergeant Todd Hunter.
