Some of the over 200 wounded Marines from the battalion were brought in from hospitals across the country, some double and triple amputees; some with severe brain injuries.
Sgt. Maj. Juan Duff USMC (Ret) attended the ceremony, representing the 1st Marine Division Association, along with members of the Southern California Chapter.
