U.S. Marine Corps Commercial: Anthem :72 (Public Service Announcement) 

With a legacy of battles won, the Marines have consistently been ready when our Nation was least ready, demonstrating a tradition of fighting and winning, always with a willingness to engage and determination to defeat any enemy. Their victories and achievements, in both war and peace, on and off the battlefield, have created significant moments in history for our Nation.
Anthem illustrates the historic battles Marines have fought and won, including:
• Belleau Wood - After 20 days of intense fighting during the German Spring Offensive of WWI near the Marne River in France, Marines secured victory and-according to legend-earned the nickname “Teufel Hunden” or “devil dogs.”
• Montford Point - The Montford Point Marines achieved victory at home when in 1942 President Roosevelt established a directive to allow African American men to fight for the Marine Corps; on the field they helped to win battles and changed the face of the Marine Corps.
• Iwo Jima - Amidst some of the fiercest and bloodiest fighting of the War in the Pacific of WWII, Marines captured the Japanese island of Iwo Jima during a five-week battle.
• Recruit Training - In successfully completing recruit training, Marines win the ultimate battles over self-doubt.
• Superstorm Sandy - After Superstorm Sandy slammed into the eastern coast of the U.S. in 2012, Marines fought for the communities of New York and New Jersey, bringing aid, organization, and much-needed manpower.Subscribe to see the latest from Marine Corps Recruiting on RU-vid: us-marines.co/...

About the United States Marine Corps:
The Marine Corps defends the people of the United States at home and abroad. Within every Marine is the willingness to engage and determination to defeat any adversary, and it is this fighting spirit that allows us to fight and win our Nation’s battles.
The mission of the United States Marine Corps is made up of three promises: We make Marines, we win our Nation’s battles, and we develop quality citizens prepared to fight and win battles.
You don’t join the Marines-you become one, forged in the crucible of training aboard our recruit depots on Parris Island, South Carolina, and in San Diego, California, or through the dedication required of officer candidates at Officer Candidates School in Quantico, Virginia. Beyond the physical requirements, aspiring Marines must prove they have the honor, courage, and commitment to face and defeat any obstacle.
Today, more than 180,000 enlisted Marines and 23,000 Marine Officers serve in active duty or reserve forces on bases and in communities around the world, proudly carrying with them the core values of the Marine Corps.
