Sgt. Maj. Brian Taylor, (right) recruiting station Baltimore Sergeant Major, and Gunnery Sgt. Maurice Bease, Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron Squadron Gunnery Sergeant, in attendance at a recruit graduation aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, April 6. Taylor and Bease hadn't spoke in 10 years after an unfortunate rumor of Bease's death in the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon spread.
