U.S. Marine Maj. Gen. Paul Kennedy, commanding general of Marine Corps Recruiting Command, speaks with participants and onlookers during the Marine Corps Recruiting Command Three on Three Girls' Basketball Tournament, an event produced in conjunction with the Women's Basketball Coaches Association during Marine Week Detroit Sep. 9, 2017. The Marine Corps Recruiting Command hosted many events during Marine Week Detroit as a part of its City Partnership Program. MCRC City Partnerships seek to align the Marine Corps with cities that share the essence of Marines - an irreducible fighting spirit. Some events hosted included High School visits supported by the Silent Drill Platoon, a Community Leaders Reception, a photography competition showcasing Detroit's fighting spirit, youth basketball and wrestling clinics, three on three basketball tournament, a cooking competition featuring an Expeditionary Field Kitchen, and more. MCRC leveraged existing partnerships with USA Wrestling, Women's Basketball Coaches Association and local contacts in the city to create events in celebration of the emerging partnership. Other City Partnerships in development include Baltimore, New Orleans, Chicago, Dallas, and Oakland, California. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Nathan Wicks)
