The new year has begun, and we are marching ahead full steam
doing what comes naturally to Marines! From continuing to visit
and value our Veterans at the VA Medical Center in Durham, to
Honoring Johnston County Businesses for showing their
Patriotism. Our concern for our environment and its appearance
with our Adopt-A-Highway program, our appreciation for the BSA
Eagle Scouts for their exceptional Leadership and Citizenship, not
to mention our support for Toys for Tots each fall. All I can ask isthat each of us continue to contribute to these programs as you are
able, with your time, talent, and active participation. Semper Fi!
Commandant ~ Timothy Daniel

1 February 1967: Operation Prairie II was begun in Quang Tri province by elements of the
3d Marine Division. During the 46-day search-and-destroy operation which terminated 18March, 93 Marines and 693 of the enemy were killed.
2 February 1944: The 4th Marine Division, as part of the first assault on islands controlled
by the Japanese before the start of World War II, captured Namur and eight other islands inthe Kwajalein Atoll.
6 February 1968: Two reduced Marine battalions, the 1st Battalion, 1st Marines with two
companies, and 2d Battalion, 5th Marines with three, recaptured Hue's hospital, jail, and provincial headquarters. It would take three more weeks of intense house to house fighting,
and nearly a thousand Marines killed and wounded, before the imperial city was secured.
11 February 1922: BGen John H. Russell was appointed U.S. High Commissioner and personal representative of the President to the government of Haiti. This nine-yearassignment placed this future Commandant in supreme command of both the occupying
American force and the Haitian Gendarmerie.
15 February 1998: One hundred years ago this date, 28 Marines and 232 seamen lost their
lives when the battleship MAINE was mysteriously sunk by an explosion in the harbor ofHavana, Cuba. Though no definitive evidence linked the Spanish with the sinking, the crywent up, "Remember the Maine!", and by late April the U.S. and Spain were at war.
17 February 1967: The first full day of Operation DECKHOUSE VI, which lasted until 3
March, was conducted near Quang Ngai city. The Special Landing Force (BLT Y4 andHMM-363) accounted for 280 enemy killed.

and raise the small American flag that battalion commander LtCol Chandler Johnson hadgiven Schrier. Within an hour, the patrol reached the rim of the crater. After a short fire-fightwith Japanese defenders emerging from several caves, the small American flag was attachedto an iron pipe and raised over the island.
24 February 1991: The I Marine Expeditionary Force and coalition forces began a groundassault on Iraqi defenses in the final chapter of Operation Desert Storm. The 1st and 2d
Marine Divisions stormed into the teeth of Iraqi defenses while heavily armored allied forcesattacked the Iraqi defenses in Iraq from behind. In 100 hours, U.S. and allied forces defeatedthe Iraqi Army.
28 February 1991: Operation Desert Storm ended when the cease- fire declared by PresidentGeorge Bush went into effect. I Marine Expeditionary Force has a strength of more than92,000 making Operation Desert Storm the largest Marine Corps operation in history. A totalof 24 Marines were killed in action during the Gulf War.
