Vice President JD Vance, a former Marine himself, addressed the troops at Camp Pendleton with words of inspiration and encouragement.
“I would not be here today. I would not be the Vice President of the United States. I would not be the man I am today, were it not for those 4 years that I served in the Marine Corps,” VP Vance said.
“Enlisting in the Marines would teach me many things, including discipline and the virtue of leadership, and that was appealing to me, and I know it’s appealing to Marines today and for every year of our 250-year history,” Vance’s reflection of a Marine recruiter he spoke to before he joined.
