RECOGNIZING THE 95TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MARINE CORPS RESERVE
ASSOCIATION
______
HON. JACK BERGMAN

Friday, November 12, 2021
Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the 95th Anniversary of the United States Marine Corps Reserve Association. The work of the USMCRA over nearly a century has been critical in ensuring the common defense of our country and assisting in the readiness of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves for future conflict.
The United States Naval and Marine Corps Reserves were established through the Naval Appropriations Act on August 29, 1916. Ten years later, the USMCRA was formed to ensure the readiness of Reserve Forces and promote the interests of the United States Marine Corps and United States Marine Corps Reserves. Since then, the USMCRA has constantly worked to help preserve the safety of our country and the wellbeing of those whom defend it. As a Retired Lt. General and the former Commander of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves and Marine Forces North, I deeply understand the importance of strong and battle-ready reserves units and will continue to support their mission here in Congress. The work of the USMCRA and the impact of their advocacy on behalf of our servicemembers, Veterans, and their families cannot be overstated.
Madam Speaker, it is an honor to recognize the United States Marine Corps Reserve Association for 95 years of service to our country. I look forward to assisting in fulfilling their mission to support our Servicemen and women. Please join me in congratulating the USMCRA for this historic achievement.
