SEPTEMBER 2021: HONOR

Normally at the start of every month, we send you updates of what’s going on at the Marines’ Memorial. IN LIGHT OF THE DEVASTATING LOSSES IN KABUL LAST WEEK, we are instead using this space to honor the 13 service members killed while serving our Country. We also want to acknowledge the incredible ongoing sacrifices of all the young men and women who are currently serving in harm’s way.

HONOR, SUPPORT, & NEVER FORGET

THE SACRIFICE OF ALL WHO SERVE IN UNIFORM
