Summary
Maj. Gen. H. Stacy Clardy III, right, receives the traditional Mameluke sword before cutting a cake Sept. 16 at the 71st birthday of the 3rd Marine Division at Camp Courtney. Marine Corps tradition dictates that the first piece is presented to the commanding general and the second piece is shared between the Marines with the longest and shortest tenure in the unit. The passing of the cake signifies the passing on of knowledge and history from old to new. Clardy is the commanding general of 3rd Marine Division. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Stephen D.
