From Our.Marines.com
“We traveled to 10 different states and 15 locations across the U.S. to create the “America’s Marines” commercial. In the process, we captured so much incredible footage, we made the extended version featured here. If you haven’t watched it yet, please do, and then come back to this blog when you’re done.
The commercial includes amazing locations, powerful images of proud Marines and the discipline that makes them The Few, The Proud. We hope that you feel equally proud that these noble men and women are defending our nation.
But the America’s Marines story is much bigger than 60 or even 90 seconds of video can describe. So we are using this web site to gather, collect and share individual stories of people we met and events we attended throughout our tour. From former Marines to relatives of Marines, and from combat veterans to proud Americans, the people who came out to meet us made it abundantly clear that the Marine Corps is much more than a branch of the military – it is a way of life. “
