Meritorious Promotion: On 3 September, Collin T. Fluke was promoted to Corporal in the Selected Marine Corps Reserves. Cpl Fluke as been on Active Duty Orders over the past two years. During this time, he has augmented and supported the staff by filling shortfalls within the communications section while supporting multiple high-level exercises. Achieving the rank of Corporal signifies a significant step in a Marine's development from a junior Marine to a leader. Often called the "backbone of the Marine Corps," corporals are responsible for the leadership, training, and discipline of junior enlisted Marines. Congratulations Cpl Fluke and job well done Marine.

Historical Significance: The blood stripe honors the sacrifices of Marine Officers and noncommissioned officers (NCOs) during the Battle of Chapultepec in 1847. Enlisted Marines receive their blood stripe upon promotion to the rank of Corporal, which marks their transition to an NCO. This scarlet red stripe on their dress blue trousers commemorates the courage of those Marines and symbolizes their honor and responsibility as leaders.

"Participating in the World War I Museum's Professional Military Education event greatly deepened my understanding of the war's wide-ranging effects on global geopolitics, social and cultural shifts, technological innovations, and military tactics. The experience highlighted how World War I not only shaped the course of history but also laid the groundwork for future conflicts. It was an invaluable learning opportunity that seamlessly connected the past with present day issues”.
