The nearly 4 years I spent working in Roosevelt Hall was an amazing way to end my career — which was full of wonderful people and interesting challenges. Thank you for the detailed description of one of the many great traditions celebrated at the NWC.

I'm just a dumb Marine, Cynthia, but I sincerely appreciate your kind description of our USMC birthday ceremonies. Roosevelt Hall is a national treasure, and the perfect setting for cutting the cake and reading the commandant's message. Many thanks for sharing! Semper Fi, friend.

the youngest marine in yesterday’s marine NWC birthday celebration was born in 2004! as always, it was a wonderful ceremony.
