Sgt. Maj. Anthony A. Spadaro, sergeant major of Marine Forces Reserve, searches the crowd for the oldest and youngest Marine to participate in a cake-cutting ceremony in celebration of the 240th Marine Corps Birthday at Luke restaurant in New Orleans, Nov. 10, 2015. The passing of the cake from the oldest Marine to the youngest Marine symbolizes the passing of knowledge and traditions from one generation to the next. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
