the 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps. Two checks for $25,000 were also
presented to the 2015 beneficiaries: Folds of Honor, which provides annual
educational scholarships to the families of those killed or disabled while in
active duty, and Semper Fi Fund, which provides immediate financial assistance
and lifetime support to critically ill and injured members of all branches of
