02:48.110 --> 02:51.270
different time , Ellis ,

02:51.410 --> 02:52.479
1234 ,

02:56.369 --> 02:58.529
the 50th anniversary of the Marine

02:58.539 --> 03:01.500
Corps Marathon . Who knew that in

03:01.509 --> 03:05.309
1975 when Colonel Jim Fowler wrote a

03:05.320 --> 03:08.360
memo to talk about fitness and

03:08.369 --> 03:10.313
community involvement . Coming off

03:11.360 --> 03:14.300
conflict that here we would be today .

03:14.309 --> 03:17.500
50 years later , we've really enforcing

03:17.509 --> 03:18.565
the same mission ,

03:21.720 --> 03:24.669
health and fitness for our runners is

03:24.679 --> 03:26.889
really showcasing the United States

03:26.899 --> 03:29.500
Marine Corps men and women and their

03:29.509 --> 03:32.789
organization skills . It's gonna be an

03:32.800 --> 03:34.990
epic year for the Great War .

03:37.880 --> 03:40.429
When you realize that over the years

03:41.179 --> 03:44.529
since the beginning of 1976 over

03:44.539 --> 03:48.449
800,000 runners have participated in

03:48.460 --> 03:50.516
one of the Marine Corps events . But

03:50.516 --> 03:52.750
it's what America

03:55.259 --> 03:58.800
fits also on an international

03:58.809 --> 04:01.770
scale will be bringing in sizzle ,

04:02.110 --> 04:05.199
which is our international runners from

04:05.210 --> 04:07.949
the countries of Spain , Italy ,

04:07.960 --> 04:11.770
Germany to run when our nations happy .

04:12.610 --> 04:14.666
And at the same time , these are the

04:14.666 --> 04:17.390
same military forces who are running in

04:17.399 --> 04:19.899
our races , who will be our allies in

04:19.910 --> 04:22.010
the next conflict . So

04:24.230 --> 04:26.420
I salute the Marine Corps Marathon

04:26.429 --> 04:29.010
organization , the United States Marine

04:29.019 --> 04:32.700
Corps and those 800,000

04:32.709 --> 04:36.649
runners when they earned that medal

04:37.130 --> 04:38.908
and got that slew from a second

04:38.908 --> 04:41.489
lieutenant . And we told those runners

04:41.500 --> 04:43.679
that they were now part of the feud .

04:45.869 --> 04:48.480
The Marine Corps marathon finishes rock

04:52.589 --> 04:56.070
blood . Hey , Marine . Happy birthday .
