Marines of Marine Forces Reserve honored Maj. Daniel Carmick Nov. 9, 2015, for his role in the Battle of New Orleans as well as his Marine Corps service. Each year MARFORRES holds a wreath laying ceremony at Carmick’s gravesite. Carmick commanded Marines and local militia men in the Battle of New Orleans and would have been the Commandant of the Marine Corps had he survived the War of 1812.
