On 21 March, 2003, the First Marine Division crossed from Kuwait and began "Operation Iraqi Freedom." This mural is dedicated to the men and women of the Armed Forces, especially the Marines and Sailors from the Marine Corps Combat Center in Twentynine Palms depicted here.
"For the Mission's sake, our country's sake, and the sake of the men who carried the division's colors in past battles--who fought for life and never lost their nerve--carry out your mission and keep your honor clean. Demonstrate t the world there is 'No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy' than a U.S. Marine."
--Major General James N. Mattis
Commanding General, First Marine Division
