Marine Sgt. Sean Silverman presents Haden Blair an invitation to attend the 2017 Battles Won Academy at McMinn Central High School, Englewood, Tennessee, on May 19, 2017.

The essence of the Marines individually and collectively is the willingness to engage and the determination to defeat an opposing force – whether personal or on behalf of our nation and its communities.
