Letters from Your Soldiers
Thank you from Djibouti Africa! We received your care package yesterday. We absolutely love the snacks and sweet treats. The letters were also a major morale boost. We all appreciate the support and all the goodies. We are 24/7 ops and these mean more than can be articulated in emails. God bless.

New York City. (May 31, 2025): In this photo by Lance Corporal Christopher Prelle, members of the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon execute their "bursting bomb" sequence during Fleet Week in Times Square. The first Fleet Week in New York was held in 1984, timed with the Memorial Day weekend, and has been a tradition ever since. During the annual celebration, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard ships dock in New York harbor to allow the public to tour vessels and meet service members.
The famous Silent Drill Platoon is a highly disciplined drill unit that exemplifies the pride and professionalism of the Marine Corps. The platoon is a 24-man rifle squad that performs military drill movements without any verbal cadence or commands. Each member is individually selected from the Schools of Infantry located in Camp Pendleton, California and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Once selected, Marines are assigned to Marine Barracks Washington to serve a two-year ceremonial tour.

PENTAGON, (March 25, 2025): Service members assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border have a new directive: conduct patrols.
Until now, the U.S. military mission at the southern border has been static. Service members have been engaged mostly in stationary detection and monitoring activities. But no longer.
On March 20, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order allowing service members involved in the mission to do more and conduct their mission on foot or on board Stryker armored vehicles.
