This production involved the Commandant and the Sergeant Major of the Marines with their annual birthday message. The filming took place in Jacksonville, N.C., Afghanistan and Washington. The last shoot was outdoors at Fort McNair in D.C., with Marines dressed for astaged birthday ball. While waiting for the Commandant a thunderstorm roared up the Potomac River. The film crews scattered like a bunch of ants. But as the Commandant arrived the storm abated and as cameras started to roll the sun broke through, giving the a film a great cinematic feel. Someone up there knew the Commandant was coming and arranged a small miracle.
