“Tomorrow marks the 242nd birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps. In today's own unpredictable world, the Marines are as important and essential now as ever before. I am proud to have a member of the Marine Corps serving in my Washington office as a legislative fellow. Paul Camacho achieved the rank of staff sergeant during his service from 2000 to 2008. He is a native of Philadelphia and served as a field artillery cannoneer. At one point, Paul was the youngest marine in the entire Marine Corps, an achievement that is celebrated each year during cake-cutting ceremonies. To Paul and all those who are part of ``The Few. The Proud. The Marines,'' I say happy birthday and thank you for your service. Thank you to all who have served in one of the most respected fighting forces in the world. Mr. Speaker, it was President Ronald Reagan who said ``some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem.'' Happy birthday. ____________________”
