This video summarizes the history of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and its significance it has for the Marines that train there; to the people living in and around the installation; and to the American public. Camp Lejeune also reflects on the installation’s 75th anniversary this year. From its original development to support the World War II campaign to present day missions overseas, the installation continues to do what it was originally created for: train, support and deploy Marines on behalf of the President of the United States and its citizens. Narrated by Brig. Gen. Thomas Weidley and Master Sgt. Timothy McMann. Music tracks courtesy of: “Great Minds” by Eric Matyas; and “Crystal Island” by Kevin Bryce.
