O
n behalf of the men and women of the Department of State, I offer my warmest congratulations and best wishes to the
United States Marine Corps on its upcoming 231st anniversary on November 10.
You stand at the front lines of the War on Terror, supporting democracy and freedom globally. You also protect our missions and personnel in the most dangerous regions of the world, for which the Department is
especially grateful.
Thank you for your devotion, your courage, and your selfless service to your country. Most importantly, thank you for your crucial contribution to
diplomacy.
I stand proudly with all members of the Department of State in wishing you a very happy birthday.
Semper Fidelis,
Condoleezza Rice
