Since its beginning in l775, the Marine Corps has carried out its duties on the sea as well as the land. Present day seagoing Marines perform more specialized tasks than their forebears who fought with John Paul Jones, but their basic mission is the same. They still maintain the security of the ship by standing guard duty, form a landing party, and still help man the guns. ln addition, my Marines perform a variety of more ceremonial functions. They act as orderlies for my Captain and Executive Officer, form honor guards and render honors on special occasions. ln short, wherever l want a iob done with snap and smartness, l call on my Marines. if O rightbg 151 Lt Af. shorts Jr., Bean, D.w., cream, w.H., clerk, R.K. l l s t l Top 'OW llett 70 Vlgltlli QFGHYHGF, J.W., Henoges, R.L., Cook, FD., Jennrich, RJ.
