20009151331 Story by Sgt. A Marine or sailor with superior job performance that abuses a family member is not adhering to the Marine Corps Core Values. Marines and sailors pride themselves on their moral courage when confronted by unjust or illegal behavior.
Family violence is unjust.
Family violence is contrary to all we stand for. For too long, people have silently sat by knowing that innocent victims are being battered by their so-called loved ones.

This is a program that consists of men speaking out against acts of violence.
