the marine corps is doing their thing. the commandant is going over to make his remarks at the spot. a lot of the families of the descendants of the marines going over there are going as a group. the marine group is planning a symposium at quantico for three days of marine corps fest where they will bring in all the artifacts and things that were done. so the marine corps is also putting on histories of the battles. because this is an interesting thing. and this is one of the points i want to make is about remembrance. how do we remember this? and i'm afraid, just to go by fast, we're going to lose part of what we should be remembering. and what we should be remembering, we remember the men. what does this mean to our nation? you know, a lot of talk about the casualties. but what about the casualties? pershing knew. he's putting guys -- it wasn't pershing's fault we weren't ready. you can put that on wilson. but once pershing was there, the offensive was there the next year to win the war. once pershing saw the line moving,

he loves the marine corps. his son was listed in the marine corps and he aims his assistant secretary of the navy in world war i. and he basically was the marine corps comidant. that was his job. when truman took over the presidency, you know, this is like a navy and we're going to get rid of those guys. so here's mcarthur's comments in 1932 that were different. so think about summer '44, that's when the relief happens right in the middle of this. so the crisis increases. and after the war, the marine corps commodore has a statement and follows up and says, wait a minute, this is taking the marine corps away. we will no longer have a marine corps. this is after iwo jima, all the specific battles. but truman basically calls all the service chiefs in, except for the marine corps as part of the navy, and he reorganized the marshal plan. he said, this is what we're going to do. we're going to continue with the march with this and the marine corps will be gone. and eisenhower again says, marines should be functioned

so the marine corps does not take that lying down. they take it up to the secretary of navy and presidential declaration by president wilson to get the fifth marine regiment to france. the fifth marine regiment goes to go aboard the trps and the army says we can't transport you. we're full. and the navy says don't worry about it. we'll take you over on our ships. so the fifth marines actually get there amongst with the first division. so, again, they are the first to fight. but the marine corps is looking at the entire division to go into the entire division of the -- i have seen the t.o. for the armored cars, heavy artillery, the whole bit. pershing is having none of that. so he has these marines, what does he do with them? he starts putting them on long lines of supply and guarding things, things that marines do. he said they're too different than us they have different regulations and so forth. so again, back to wilson. wilson says i'll send over the sksth marine. he has to issue another presidential proclamation. the sixth marines

there might not have been a marine corps to go to war. they would have been guarding our navy ports, yards, basically being cops. it was defeated because the american public rose up and one of the marine's fathers was a -- the head of a committee and basically brought it to america's attention. they said we want our marines. a lot of it was based on china and guantanamo bay. you can start to see people getting irritated with these marines. the army especially. so they survive. ,then comes 1914 in veracruz. the marines have almost gone out of business this time again by the navy. they said marines, we challenge you to make a landing, put up heavy naval weapons, and participate in the 1914 naval exercises. if you can't do it, your funding is gone. luckily, the greatest marine of them all takes command. takes the unit down there and succeeds in planting the guns and bringing some aviation into the fleet exercises. it is another time the marines could have gone away. but an uprising in mexico brought the marines to veracruz in april of 1914. s

teddy roosevelt did not know like the marine corps. he was determined to get rid of them. he said the navy folks can do this just as well as the marine, and they can do it without being as irritating. [ captioners transitioning ] put up naval weapons and -- but you can do it. locally, we took command of it and he went down there and succeeded in the exercises. -- [inaudible] . the marines, luckily, they know to get approved. a lot of other reporters, the reason, the one thing that we can do, -- [inaudible] clear past [inaudible] be careful what you ask for. he is part of the army for days. i appreciate the reinforcements and so they remained and you start to see what is going to happen when the marine corps is part [inaudible] unfortunately, they encouraged the marines and the command. one thing that he doesn't want, [inaudible] why? [inaudible]. he will get all of the credit anyway. go do your thing and i will do my thing. we can't get up and take the presidential declaration like president wilson and -- up to john bolton, they translate [inaudible] personally, they are ha

including the simple geography of the indo pacific which is tailor-made for the united states marine corps. as former adversaries learned on islands, the absolute last place on earth you want to be is between a marine and his objective. in the long run, however, the only thing that can stop the marine corps is this body's failure to do its job. if we fail to provide on-time, adequate or predictable funding, we will undermine our marine corps' ability to get the job done. this resolution takes a small step to recognize these challenges and commit to doing better. we owe our beloved marine corps nothing less. thank you. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from -- mr. smith: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: i'm sorry. i was listening to two people at the same time. the chair recognizes the gentleman from washington state. mr. smith: thank you. we've had the broader debate. so let me just say very quickly. i agree with the resolution brought forward by congressman ga

marine corps' second raider battalion at camp lejeune, north carolina. when he was tragically killed in a kc-130 plane crash. in mississippi on july 10, 2017. my legislation would designate the u.s. postal service van ity at 4801 west giesen street in west richland, washington, as the sergeant dietrich schmieman post office building. dietrich and his fellow service members gave the ultimate sacrifice and i hope to honor his memory, as well as the memory of the 15 other men and women killed in the crash. with this dedication to their service. dietrich's strong ties to his family, friends and hometown continue to be evident. an avid sky diver, dietrich's death inspired his parents, his childhood friends and fellow marines to complete a memorial skydive over central washington . he had a tattoo symbolizing his love of the pacific northwest, and requested that his ashes be spread on mount rainier, where his marine brothers in arms will hike this august in his honor. we recently observed the one-year anniversary of the devastating plane crash and i know that

the air force and navy are a little over 300,000 active duty and the marine corps less than 200,000 so that the pecking order in terms of size and the coast guard is 40,000 or so so a space force would be similar in size to a coast guard more than any other military service, is that their agreement? >> space command billed itself as thousand which includes military as well as contractors and coast guard is around 10 or million dollars budget which is where the air force budget is. so yes, it'sabout the same as the united states . >> thanks very much michael. it's great to be here today. let me start by saying i'm undecided with regards to other the idea of a space force is a good idea or not. i don't discount the possibility that trump was watching star wars, saw the death star and said i need to get me one of those but in reality, this is a very serious issue and it is primarily driven by the development of anti-satellite capabilities by russia, china and others and this is something that president obama himself was very focused on in the last two years of the administration so it's a
