 Flag Precedence: Why the Marine Corps is senior to the Navy 

                    COLUMBUS, Ohio —                                                Anyone who has attended a military event or sat in a briefing where the Service flags are displayed should know that the order of precedence goes from left to right. The National Ensign followed by the Army, Marine Corps, Navy...wait. What? The Marine Corps is senior to the Navy in order of precedence even though it is an underling to the Department of the Navy? Is it because we can do more pull-ups? Run farther? Carry more weight? Have better looking uniforms? No. It’s a little debatable but seems to stem from a litany of historical events.

 Honoring their sacrifice: Marine Corps turns 245 

                    COLUMBUS, Ohio —                                                This year we celebrate the 245th Birthday of our Corps. On Feb 23, 2020 we commemorated the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima and the raising of our flag on Mount Suribachi. Iwo was a bloody, 36-day long chapter in the World War II Pacific saga as our brothers fought and died for control of the tiny atoll.

 Why be a Marine 

                    COLUMBUS, Ohio —                                                On this, the 245th Marine Corps Birthday, I like to reflect on what it is that truly makes the Corps something special to those who haven’t worn the uniform.  I’d like to tell you about a time when I was on recruiting duty and a young man came into my office seeking to find out about joining the Corps.
