This is why we tell the story of "our Marines". Our President Major Larry Keim USMC (Ret) makes it personal - because it was. 14th June 1942 marked the 84th anniversary of the arrival of the US Marines in Wellington.
Thank you US Embassy in New Zealand for this reel.
This is part of the Freedom 250 celebrations for America's 250th anniversary. It is a reflection on the people, partnerships, and shared moments that have helped shape the enduring relationship between the United States and New Zealand.
