Brig. General Joseph L. Osterman, commanding general of Marine Corps Recruiting Command, swears in Marine Corps poolees during the pregame ceremonies at the Cleveland Indians game here, June 15, 2012. During the game, Sgt. Maj. Micheal P. Barrett, sergeant major of the Marine Corps, threw the first pitch and the Marine Corps Base Quantico band performed "America the Beautiful." Outside the stadium, Marine Corps vehicles, aircraft and equipment were available for public viewing at the Gateway Plaza. Public Square, Voinovich Park, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are some of other venues that display the equipment as well. Marine Week Cleveland celebrates community, country and the Corps. More than 750 Marines journeyed to Cleveland for the event. Ohio has more than 9,000 active and reserve Marines, making it one of the top-five producers of Marines. The culminating event for the week is the Marine Air-Ground Task Force demo, June 16-17, in which Marines will invade the Burke Lakefront Airport by land, air, and sea.
