    Administration of Barack Obama, 2013 Remarks at Camp Pendleton, California August 7, 2013 The President. Hello, Marines! Audience members. Hooah! The President. Hello, Camp Pendleton! Audience members. Hooah! The President. Well, listen, it is great to be here, at the home of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force—– Audience members. Hooah! The President.——and one of our Nation's oldest and most decorated military units, the legendary 1st Marine Division. Audience members. Hooah! The President. And I think I see some proud Navy folks here too. Audience members. Hooah! Let me thank General Nicholson for the introduction and for his outstanding leadership of our Marines in Iraq, in Afghanistan. And that includes your command of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade out of Camp Lejeune, which we recognized last year with the Presidential Unit Citation. Thank you, General Nicholson. I want to thank all of your commanders for welcoming me today, including General Coglianese and General Busby. And I want to recognize your incredible staff, noncommissioned officers, including Sergeant Majors Ronald Green, Scott Helms, and David Jobe. I want to salute Debbie Nicholson and all the spouses and military families who are here, because we understand they're the force behind the force. Just like Michelle is the force behind me. I want everyone to give a big round of applause to the amazing families who serve along with you. And I want to acknowledge Members of Congress who are here, including Susan Davis, Darrell Issa, and Dana Rohrabacher. Now, I've got to tell you the truth, I've been looking forward to this visit because—and this is a little tricky to say this—but my family and I, we've got a special place in our hearts for the Marine Corps.
