In Honor of the Marines of the 4th Marine Brigade! “Retreat, Hell! We just got here!” -Captain Lloyd W. Williams (Commander 51st Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment). 

From June 1 to 26, 1918, the 4th Marine Brigade (comprised of the 5th Marines, 6th Marines and 6th Machine Gun Battalion) fought through a gauntlet of thick woodland, jagged rock and barbed wire, and against unrelenting machine gun fire, poison gas and a formidable, entrenched force. Despite these seemingly insurmountable odds, these Devil Dogs seized Belleau Wood and successfully turned back the German’s Spring Offensive. The valor and devotion exhibited by the Marines at Belleau Wood would come to strike fear in our enemies and pride in our fellow Americans. After World War I, the reputation Marines forged at Belleau Wood would make our name synonymous with the fiercest fighting force in the world.
