Interesting. The proposal is that the "Department of the Navy" would be renamed to "Department of the Navy and Marine Corps"
One of the reasons behind this is because of how serious the Marines are when honoring their fallen. (for reference, watch "Taking Chance" - and have tissues ready).
Apparently when the family receives the condolence letter it bears the Department of the Navy letterhead, "with no mention of the marines."
