Nashville, Tennessee. Welcome to Marine Week, St. Louis for the Great American Bulldog. Welcome to Marine Week. Welcome to Marine Week, St. Louis. Welcome to Marine Week. More than 700 Marines have invaded downtown St. Louis as all part of the third annual Marine Week taking place for the first time here in the Gateway City. Right here in the city of St. Louis. Be here and they want to see us, so I think they're happy to see us out here. It's sure nice to have you guys from the town. I'm glad to be here. It's a beautiful city. We try to take elements from the community. A big, big party here, which is sports. St. Louis, the arches, mentorship with the Marine Corps, and just try to put a real colorful piece of art together. Thousands and thousands of people come through here every day. Not only represent the Marines, but represent what America stands for. Thank you, Marines. I think it's a wonderful tradition and such an honorable thing to be a part of. Changing of the guard, which was, gives you goosebumps. We have Marines from units all throughout the United States come through a central location together because we're one Marine Corps and the share of experience with the folks of St. Louis who wouldn't necessarily have the opportunity to have a chance to see what the Marine Corps has to offer me. My dad drills it in my head that they are indeed very important. I think they're definitely a huge part of our lives every day, even though we don't even realize it. Let's start with Marine Week. Have you heard about this? The lack of tanks in the world right here. One thing that binds us, we all joined because we wanted to be Marines. Corps just stands, I mean, totally on its own. It's a totally different breed of military. And so it really does give you a whole new appreciation, not just the big picture that they put their life on the line, but just what professionals they are. Very, very cool. Downtown today, you might think the city is under attack. To keep the mission, you're going to see the Madagascar as a wonderful symphony for a new, a Marine Expeditionary Unit put together to fulfill a specified mission. To storm the beaches on the Mississippi River under the arches. Man, oh man. Well, I think it's awesome. I know my dad was a proud Marine, and I wish he was still alive to come down here and experience with me. Yeah, I'm really overwhelmed by the response of the people here in St. Louis. The Marines have had great engagements. The people have really welcomed the Marines with open arms. Had a chance to show what the Marine Corps is all about. And I think the people of St. Louis have fallen in love with the United States Marine Corps.
