Continuing our Marine spotlight from October, we would like to proudly honor Master Sergeant (Ret.) John Rocha as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps this November. Master Sergeant Rocha dedicated over 21 years of distinguished service to our nation, from January 11, 2001, to August 31, 2021. Throughout his career, he exemplified valor and steadfast leadership—deploying to Iraq three times and serving two tours as a Drill Instructor, where he shaped and inspired future generations of Marines.

As we give thanks this November, we express our deep gratitude to Master Sergeant Rocha and all Marines, past and present, whose courage and commitment uphold the legacy and traditions of the USMC. Your sacrifices and service continue to strengthen thefoundation of our country and inspire us all.
