(warlike music)

00:08.344 --> 00:09.244
- [Karsten] Oorah, 2nd MAW.

00:09.244 --> 00:11.050
I'm Brigadier General Karsten Heckl,

00:11.050 --> 00:13.577
the commanding general
of this amazing wing.

00:13.577 --> 00:15.316
We're celebrating 77 years

00:15.316 --> 00:18.499
of 2nd MAW's extraordinary
service to our nation.

00:18.499 --> 00:21.310
Just six months after its
commissioning in July, 1941

00:21.310 --> 00:24.244
2nd Marine Aircraft Wing was
taking the fight to the enemy.

00:24.244 --> 00:26.681
Storied battles such as Guadalcanal,

00:26.681 --> 00:29.231
Saipan, Wake Island, Midway,

00:29.231 --> 00:30.903
and we've been there ever since

00:30.903 --> 00:34.323
answering the call whenever
and wherever it's come.

00:34.323 --> 00:37.734
And we're answering the
call today around the globe.

00:37.734 --> 00:40.225
(warlike music)

00:40.225 --> 00:42.548
So, to the marines, sailors, and civilians

00:42.548 --> 00:43.892
2nd Marine Aircraft Wing,

00:43.892 --> 00:45.691
Happy 77th anniversary.

00:45.691 --> 00:47.688
I'm looking forward to
working with each of you

00:47.688 --> 00:49.514
and taking our great wing into the future.

00:49.514 --> 00:50.764
Semper Fidelis.

00:52.280 --> 00:54.947
