 The nation is fighting through a tough challenge right now with COVID-19, the virus. Sergeant Major Black and I thought we'd take some time today to talk about the families, talk about Marines, and talk about why we do what we do, especially in a time of crisis, which is right now. To the families that would just say, you should be really proud of your Marine. They are performing just like you would expect them to do. And you should also be confident that every measure is being taken so that they can train and prepare in the right way. There are Marines who deploy from Camp Pendleton and have deployed from Camp Lejeune that have gone to both of the cities where those hospital ships are at and they're on the pier. They're sitting there and they're assisting and they're working along with our Navy partners and city commanders. Thank you very much for using good judgment, making great decisions, even when things are uncertain, to make the right decisions, the right calls at each location. As leaders, we know what a right looks like. It may look different tomorrow, but today a right looks like this. Make that call. Make that call. And you have the Sergeant Major and I's full support. We back you all the way. Sergeant Major and I have gotten some questions. Each one of us, I think, has been asked, why can't you just stop training? Why can't you stop recruiting? Why do we continue to do recruit training in the middle of this terrible virus? We train so that we're ready to go. We never get the chance to pick the next crisis where it happens, when it happens. When the President calls Marines and the Navy team, we respond immediately. So we must continue to train. We have to continue recruit training because this nation relies on its Marine Corps especially in tough times. Thank you Marines. Thank you families. Superfile Delos always faithful. Thank you. Thank you to the families. Thanks to Marines. Thanks for staying focused on the mission and yourselves. We need you to take care of yourselves. Take care of your families. So Sergeant Major and I, very grateful for all your hard work. Keep it up. Be ready to go when the bell rings.
