2 June 1918: At dawn on this date, the crack German 28th Division attacked along the axis of the Paris-Metz road hitting the American 2d Division, including the 4th Marine Brigade. The Marines opened with deadly rifle fire and helped hand the German troops a setback which set the stage for Marine victory at Belleau Wood which would soon follow, although at great cost. 12 June 1961: President John F. Kennedy signed a Presidential Proclamation calling for the American flag to be flown at the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, "at all times during the day and night." Discussions between the Attorney General's office and Marine Corps officials earlier in 1961 on improving the visibility and appearance of the monument led to the proposal to fly the Flag continuously, which by law could only be done by Congressional legislation or by Presidential proclamation.
HISTORY & TRADITIONS
By Katie Solano
The Guidon A publication of the Swansboro Marine Corps League Detachment #1407
4 July 1801: President Thomas Jefferson reviewed the Marines, led by the Commandant of
the Marine Corps, LtCol William W. Burrows and the Marine Band, on the White House
grounds. The smartly uniformed Marines performed drills and fired various salutes in ob-
servance of the new nation's 25th anniversary.
28 July 1918: Brigadier General John A. Lejeune assumed command of the 2d Division, U.S.
Army in France, and remained in that capacity until August 1919 when the unit was demobi-
lized. He was the first Marine officer to hold an Army divisional command, and following the
Armistice, he led his division in the march into Germany.
17 August 1942: Just prior to dawn, the 2d Marine Raider Battalion under LtCol Evans F.
Carlson landed on Makin Island from the submarines NAUTILUS and ARGONAUT. The next
day the Marines left the island after destroying a seaplane base, two radio stations, a supply
warehouse, and killing about 100 Japanese soldiers.
23 August 1984: The last Marines to serve peace-keeping duty in Lebanon arrived home.
The 24th Marine Amphibious Unit (MAU) arrived off the coast of Lebanon on 9 April to re-
lieve Marines of the 22d MAU who were guarding the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. The 24th
MAU left Beirut on 31 July, marking the last presence of U.S. combat troops in Beirut since
Marines entered almost two years earlier.
