November 10th marks the 241st anniversary of the Marine Corps’ founding. It is a day sacred to all Marines, past and present. Marines in groups large and small to celebrate their history, honor the memory of the Marines who have gone before them, and rekindle the bond that unites all generations of Marines. This year the Marine Corps celebrates 241 years of uncommon valor, innovation, and combat excellence.
When the Continental Congress stood up two battalions of Marines in 1775, a culture of discipline, vigilance, professionalism, and military excellence was born that has characterized the Corps for nearly two and half centuries.
Reach out to your fellow Marines and let them know you're still there for them. Celebrate our great Corps. Watch "Full Metal Jacket," or whatever you do to remember the good old days. Eat some cake and, if you have kids, make sure they understand what you're celebrating. However you choose to celebrate the Marine Corps birthday, have a happy one!
