Since World War II, the Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy have carried out countless humanitarian missions. In 2003, General James Mattis emphasized treating others with decency and showing chivalry and soldierly compassion, while upholding the honor of those who served before and embodying the ideal of being "No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy" than a U.S. Marine. The work Marines are called to handle today extends far beyond rapid deployment and combat, with service at home and overseas in ways many people may not realize.
