VetComm CEO Kate Monroe Recognizes Marines as Unmatched Leaders in Her 250th USMC Birthday Celebration Address
Stop Waiting. Start Rating
Monroe affirms that Marines are set apart to lead, adapt and excel, calling on them to carry forward the unbreakable spirit of honor, courage and commitment.
Monroe reminded Marines that “Once a Marine, Always a Marine” is not merely a motto, but a living truth tied to honor, courage and commitment. Drawing on her personal journey of overcoming injury and adversity after service, she spoke candidly about the challenges Marines face both in and out of uniform, challenging the audience to recognize that “our greatest battles don’t always happen in combat. Sometimes they happen in the quiet moments, when it’s just you and your will to rise again.”
Her speech celebrated the Marine Corps as a launchpad for post-service success, asserting that Marine training equips veterans for leadership and impact in all realms, from business and family to community service and public office. Monroe encouraged all present to aim higher, stating, “You can do anything. Because you are cut apart from the rest. You are special. You are meant for greatness.”
Addressing issues like veteran suicide and homelessness, Monroe drew attention to VetComm’s mission of supporting veterans long after service ends, promising, “We go out and find our brothers and sisters, wherever they are, however they are, and we bring them home. Because that’s what Marines do. We never stop fighting for each other.”
Monroe closed with a call for Marines to embrace their legacy and look forward to what’s next, saying, “Your story doesn’t end with your service, it begins there. The Marine Corps gave you the tools, the strength, the mindset, the foundation for a life without limits. Through pain, through struggle, through heartbreak, you rise. Because that’s who you are. The uniform may one day come off. But the title, Marine, that’s forever.”
Semper Fidelis. Happy 250th Birthday, Marines.
