For 100 years, the Marine Corps has served as our nation’s premier force in readiness, due in large part to the steadfast performance of the men and women of the Reserve Component. This concert was part of a series of events to recognize the long standing bond between Massachusetts and the Marine Corps Reserve. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Melissa Martens/ Released)
