00:18.379 --> 00:20.700
New Orleans carries 250 years of

00:20.700 --> 00:22.979
Marines , courage , commitment , and a

00:22.979 --> 00:25.459
legacy you can hear in every cadence .

00:29.690 --> 00:32.049
Alignment says unity , cadence says

00:32.049 --> 00:35.040
discipline . Movements that look like

00:35.040 --> 00:37.080
precision drill are really promises

00:37.080 --> 00:39.279
kept generation to generation .

00:45.009 --> 00:47.120
The rifle is handled like a promise .

00:47.790 --> 00:50.529
Readiness , restraint , respect .

00:51.830 --> 00:54.680
A salute is a conversation across time .

00:54.990 --> 00:58.369
I see your duty returned by those who

00:58.369 --> 01:02.299
took it up next . Drawn steel makes

01:02.299 --> 01:05.059
tradition visible . Authority isn't

01:05.059 --> 01:08.419
borrowed , it's earned , carried , and

01:08.419 --> 01:10.641
returned to the scabbard with control .

01:12.839 --> 01:15.180
The first slice passes from oldest to

01:15.180 --> 01:17.809
youngest . Experience is potential .

01:18.419 --> 01:20.500
That's the legacy . Skills handed

01:20.500 --> 01:22.870
forward , standards never lowered .

01:28.809 --> 01:30.949
And because this is New Orleans , the

01:30.949 --> 01:34.559
legacy moves alive , joyful , unbroken .
