2nd MAW Motivator of The Week

Cpl. Gilbert P. Villagrana, a musician with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing Marine Band, poses for a photo at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., Aug. 12, 2019. "Joining the Marine Corps, joining the band was kind of a selfish act. This was for me. But for so long you do it for yourself and then real good performers realize it's not about you. It's about the people, and we're always performing for the people,” said Villagrana, an El Paso, Texas native. He was nominated for volunteering more than 150 hours for the Drum Corps International ensemble Carolina Crown, commendatory recognition as a trumpet specialist with the Quantico Marine Corps Band at the Virginia International Tattoo, and has been meritoriously promoted to corporal.
