American Military News: A fire recently broke out at a Washington D.C. retirement home, prompting Marines at a nearby outpost to jump into action.
Video footage shows the Marines running toward the fire at Arthur Capper Senior Apartments, which was located approximately 200 yards from their outpost, CBS News reported last week.
The official Marines Instagram account shared a video of the Marines running toward the fire, accompanied by the caption, “This is what we stand for. Ooh-Rah to the Marines from Marine Barracks Washington 8th & I that helped save lives and give honor to our name.” See Video
Well done, Marines, but I wouldn’t have expected anything less! 8th & I is the oldest Marine post in the U.S., established in 1801 by Thomas Jefferson, and is the home of the Commandant.
I don’t think I’ve ever met a Marine that wouldn’t do that very same thing…SEMPER FI MARINES!
Hand Salute. 2.
So proud! You men are great!!
Next we will read that the Marines have been charged with impersonating a firefighter, and failure to join the union.
When the first line of defense…BECOMES the first line of rescue.
Outstanding.
