Every Memorial Day, I find myself making the same journey to Mount Vernon Cemetery in Abington. With a cigar in hand and a heart full of gratitude, I walk among the headstones and flags, reflecting on the men and women who gave everything in service to our nation. In this special Memorial Day 2026 edition of Oscar Mike Radio, I wanted to share what this day truly means to me. Memorial Day is more than a three-day weekend, backyard cookouts, or the unofficial start of summer. It is a sacred day of remembrance. It is a time to honor the service members who never came home and to recognize the profound sacrifices made by their families. As I walk through the cemetery, I think about fellow Marines I served with, friends we’ve lost over the years, and the countless Americans whose names may be unfamiliar to us but whose sacrifices helped preserve the freedoms we enjoy today. I also reflect on those who returned home carrying invisible wounds. Some veterans continued fighting battles long after their military service ended. Their stories matter. Their struggles matter. Their lives and sacrifices deserve to be remembered alongside every fallen service member who answered the call to serve. What gives me hope each year is seeing communities come together in remembrance. Volunteers place flags at gravesites. Families gather for ceremonies. Young people learn the meaning behind Memorial Day traditions. These acts remind us that remembrance endures and that future generations understand that freedom comes at a cost. This Memorial Day, I encourage you to pause and reflect. Visit a cemetery. Attend a memorial ceremony. Say a prayer. Share the story of a fallen hero. Take time to remember those who gave their lives so that we could live ours. To all Gold Star families, veterans, volunteers, and communities who work tirelessly to preserve these memories, thank you. May we never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Semper Fidelis.

In this episode of Preble Hall, Dr. Shawn Callahan, Director of the Marine Corps History Division at Marine Corps University, discusses their recently published work, Semper Fidelis: 250 Years of U.S. Marine Corps Honor, Courage, and Commitment.

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for hanging out with us. We're excited to have Gunnar Spafford from Toys for Tots back on the show this week. Gunnar first came on the show with John Haehn this spring during Modern Day Marine, and it was great that we had a chance to catch up with him. As we jump into the holiday season with both feet, it's really easy for our focus to turn inward and, whether intentionally or unintentionally, ignore the struggles of those to the left and right of us. Toys for Tots is the balm for our holiday season tunnel vision. One of Toys for Tots' slogans is, “It's more than just a toy,” and having personal experience supporting Toys for Tots, I can say that is totally true. Gunnar talks to us about the ways that a toy is so much more than just a toy, Toys for Tots year-round and disaster-relief initiatives, and ways for both individuals and corporations to give. I can't emphasize enough what an amazing charity organization Toys for Tots is and I'm happy that Gunnar was able to carve out some time during this busy season to come hang out with us to get the word out about Toys for Tots. Also, we at the MCA know how stressful and challenging the holiday season can be. Mental health challenges and suicide continue to take far too many of our active-duty service members and veterans.

Honoring the Fallen: The 1979 Camp Fuji Fire In this episode of Oscar Mike Radio, I had the privilege of speaking with Marine Corps veteran and journalist Chas Henry, author of Fuji Fire. Together, we revisited the 1979 Camp Fuji fire in Japan, one of the most devastating peacetime disasters in Marine Corps history. This tragedy, triggered by a powerful typhoon, claimed the lives of several Marines and left a lasting scar on those who survived. My conversation with Chas brought this painful yet important chapter of military history to light, ensuring that the courage and sacrifice of those Marines are never forgotten. Chas Henry's Investigative Journey Chas took me through his in-depth investigative process behind Fuji Fire, uncovering the systemic failures that led to the disaster and exploring the leadership lessons that remain relevant today. His storytelling is both powerful and sobering, a reminder of how history can shape the standards and safety we uphold in the service today. As we talked, it was clear that this story isn't only about tragedy, it's also about resilience, courage, and brotherhood, the very essence of the Marine Corps. Lessons in Leadership and Remembrance This conversation with Chas reminded me why preserving these stories is so important. The Marines who endured Camp Fuji displayed extraordinary strength in the face of chaos, showing true leadership and unity. By revisiting this story, we honor not just those who were lost, but also those who carried on, the ones who rebuilt, learned, and continued to serve. It's a testament to the eternal Semper Fidelis spirit. Learn More To dive deeper into this powerful story, I encourage you to visit chashenry.com/fujifire to learn more about Chas Henry's investigative work and his dedication to honoring Marine Corps history. Thank you, Chas, for joining me and sharing your insights, and thank you to everyone who continues to remember and honor our brothers and sisters in arms. Semper Fidelis.

The Big Bank Theory is a podcast about Exeter City FC. In this episode, we feel the pull of the dirge and propose new plans to embed Semper Fidelis into our lives, hopes and dreams.

Loyalty means that you are devoted to your country, the Corps, and to your seniors, peers, and subordinates. The motto of our Corps is Semper Fidelis!, (Always Faithful). You owe unwavering loyalty up and down the chain of command, to seniors, subordinates, and peers.To improve your loyalty you should show your loyalty by never discussing the problems of the Marine Corps or your unit with outsiders. Never talk about seniors unfavorably in front of your subordinates. Once a decision is made and the order is given to execute it, carry out that order willingly as if it were your own.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/morning-mindset-with-paul-g-markel/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

SynopsisYou might say that Eubie Blake flunked retirement.In 1946, with a five-decade career as a successful performer and composer behind him, Blake retired at 63. He was the son of former slaves, and his religious mother objected to ragtime music on principle. But in 1899, while still a teenager, Blake penned a classic: The Charleston Rag. In 1915, he formed a songwriting partnership with a talented young singer named Noble Sissle, and, in the 1920s, the two men fused ragtime and operetta into a series of smash Broadway shows.During World War II, Blake toured with USO shows, and, after retiring in 1946, studied composition formally at New York University, collecting and editing his works for posterity.In the 1950s, a revival of interest in early jazz coaxed Blake out of retirement, and the use of ragtime music in the film The Sting transformed that interest into a pop culture sensation.On today's date in 1973, on the occasion of his 90th birthday, Blake was honored by ASCAP (the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers), and in 1981, at 98, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.Music Played in Today's ProgramSousa, arr.

In this episode Jennie and Dianne honor Veterans Day and celebrate National Native American Heritage Month along with guests Charlie Johnson and Connie Kellwood Pitt. Connie's father, Joe Hosteen Kellwood was one of the renowned Navajo Code Talkers of WWII. Connie has made it her mission to share not only her father's personal story, but the stories of the 420 Ordinary Extraordinary Navajo men who participated in every major Marine operation in the Pacific theater. They translated hundreds of thousands of messages using the Navajo language between 1942 and the end of the conflict in 1945, and not one message was ever decoded by the Japanese. Upon returning home at the end of the war, the men were forbidden to tell of their heroic deeds until the mission was finally declassified by the military in 1968. Connie paints a vivid picture of courage and the strength and determination of true Navajo warriors who fought to protect their fellow Marines, their families and their country. To all of America's veterans, thank you.

This episode got to highlight the principle of Semper Fidelis with the perfect guest, Len Houston, who has the Marine Corps woven into the fabric of his soul and strives to be always faithful in everything he does. Len embodies this tradition throughout the episode and you will be able to see ways to weave that great Marine Corps motto into your organizations as you listen and look for ways to incorporate aspects of what you hear. Len believes deeply in being a part of something bigger than himself, building up those around him, and sharing as much knowledge as he can with the rising generation. This is eloquently described in a philosophy he describes that might challenge your perceptions about what you think a Marine should act like. Len also educates us that we need to innovate and adapt to the changing world. He shares a personal story of how he found his way back to the Marines after retiring from active duty which is a great model for all us in clear communications. Len joins us from Okinawa where he shares with us his deep love for the Japanese people, their culture and we discuss the wonderful principle Kaizen. Len reminds us to never forget where we came from and that we have a responsibility to step up - no matter how uncomfortable the situation because just like the Marines - ALL of us can all be a leader. Len was born in Ohio and raised in Western Pennsylvania. Raised in a single parent household from the age of 8, he was heavily influenced by his grandmother, who grew up during The Great Depression. Following the bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon in October 1983, Len enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in June 1984 as a part of the Delayed Entry Program. In June 1985, he attended boot camp at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, SC and attending multiple MOS or Military Occupational Specialty schools before entering the Fleet Marine Force in May 1986 with III Marine Expeditionary Force on Okinawa, Japan. Len served 21 years across multiple duty stations until he retired from the United States Marine Corps in 2006. Since retirement, he has worked in leadership/management positions across four companies, where he currently works in support of the Marine Corps.  Len has been married to his wife of nearly 36 years, they have two adult sons, and a grandchild.  Semper Fidelis - Marines  https://www.marines.com/about-the-marine-corps/who-are-the-marines/semper-fidelis.html Thomas E.
