Marines –
What a privilege it is to serve in our Corps at this historic time. The President’s announcement of his Afghanistan Strategy affects Marines across the Corps and has public affairs offices buzzing from coast to coast. The Chairman conducted a short-notice visit to the Carolina MAGTF, and our Marines did a good job hosting him and challenging him with great questions.

Good work keeping our communications coordinated and timely during this frenetic period. Continue to serve well our many audiences: the general public, Marines and their families, and our senior leaders. Continue to keep the information flowing with updates, and call if you need clarification on an issue.

As the number of Marines that will go into combat increases, so will the number of combat correspondents. Ensure you and your Marines are ready to fight and win in combat. This is both a leadership and a personal responsibility. The end state is that you are recognized by the combat arms communities as both proficient fighters as well as correspondents.

Many thanks to those who support our Marines as they head out the door to Afghanistan. From the base and station public affairs to the recruiting service, you are all an important part of the network that contributes to the Corps’ success.
As we enter the holiday season my personal thanks to you for your service. Thank you to your families for their many sacrifices.
— Semper fidelis, Colonel Bryan Salas, DivPA
