Chuck Norris tells Marines to 'protect what you've earned'

Up next in the Marine Corps Daily Seven exercises is … a roundhouse kick to the face?

"Honorary Marine" Chuck Norris appeared on the Corps' Protect What You've Earned campaign last month to give a short message to Marines and to shake up the exercise regimen.

The Protect What You’ve Earned campaign was started in 2015 and is aimed at decreasing alcohol related incidents and other behaviors that can negatively impact Marines and their families, according to a Marine release.
