Those races also finished at the Marine Corps War Memorial, which stands at the top of a hill near Arlington National Cemetery. The two Marine leaders said they were fully recovered from their post-race soreness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRunning up that hill a week and a half ago was a lot harder than running up it this morning, no question about it,\u201d Berger said. \u201cOf course, it doesn\u2019t hurt that there are 500 Marines pushing you from behind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also in attendance at the birthday run was Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jonathan Knauth, whose rank makes him unusual even within an \u201cunusual\u201d branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Marine Corps birthday will be his last as an active-duty Marine. Knauth plans to retire on Nov. 1, 2023, after more than 30 years on active duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then his plan is to become a National Park ranger, melding his passion for the outdoors with his desire to keep serving the nation. But for now, he is still serving as a senior visual information officer in the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s great to be out here on the birthday, spending time with other Marines, with senior leadership, which you don\u2019t always get to see \u2014 even at the Pentagon, you don\u2019t always get to see them,\u201d Knauth said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s the last time being out here and the last chance to share the specialness of the birthday and what it means to have the camaraderie and the brotherhood and the sisterhood with my fellow Marines. It\u2019s really motivating for me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The commandant asserted that service members in other branches don\u2019t even know when their birthdays
