    Brigadier Gen. James W. Lukeman, the 2nd Marine Division Commanding General uses the traditional Mameluke sword to cut the birthday cake. The guest of honor, the 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James F. Amos, received the piece of cake from Lukeman. The second piece was presented to the oldest Marine present, Baltimore native, Master Gunnery Sgt. Jerry H. Morris, the battalion maintenance chief for 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. The piece was then passed to the youngest Marine present as a symbol of the passing of knowledge. The youngest Marine was Chesapeake City, Md., native 2nd Lt. Henry L. Rodgers, a motor transport platoon commander with Headquarters and Service Company with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment.
