Stand at ease Commander! Well done! The courage and skills of both you and your men have proven that the Marine Corps is alive and well.**

With the fall of Havana, the Cubans have surrendered and the Russians, what's left of them, are pulling out. I've just received news that the Berling blockade has just been lifted, probably as a result of what we have done here. Just possibly we may have averted a holocaust, another world war!** 

This was a great victory at the last commander. You are to report to QUantico for some advanced training in war skills. Give my congratulations to your men for their heroism and skill in combat.**
 
But first, a flight to Washington is waiting for you. General Shoup wants to interview you personally. There is also the recommendation for you to receive the Navy Cross.**

Please accept my gratitude for a job well done. Semper Fi!**
