Beverly Hudgins, Director for Marine Corps Community Services Marine Corps Base Hawaii, gives remarks during a plank-owner ceremony presented by Marine Corps Community Services aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii, March 2, 2022. A "plank owner" is an individual who was a member of the crew of a ship when that ship was placed in commission. Originally, this term applied only to crewmembers present at the ship's first commissioning. Today, however, it is often applied to members of a recommissioning crew or unit as well. Each Marine assigned to 3d 3d Marine Littoral Regiment received a wooden plank
