Colonel Derrick Heyl, Commanding Officer of Headquarters Battalion, Marine Forces Reserve, addresses the Marines of Marine Forces Reserve after a 3-mile motivational run here, Nov. 9, 2016. The run celebrated the 241st Marine Corps birthday – the day that commemorates the beginning of the Marine Corps and is when all Marines reflect on their history and the special bond that they have with one another.
