Happy Birthday US Marine Corps!!!!!!!

The United States Marine Corps traces its institutional roots to the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War, formed at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on November 10, 1775, to raise 2 battalions of Marines. That date is regarded and celebrated as the date of the Marine Corps' "birthday".

Hi

Prepare to report to the Marine mess for Surf 'n' Turf...
Report to the Marine mess for Surf 'n' Turf, MARCH!
Devour from the left, column left, MARCH!

(Marine = land and sea, see, so the Marine mess serves steak and lobster today. Most of the Army on separate rations or rations not available know that.)

Happy birthday,
Marine Corps!!​

From the halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
-Marines' Hymn

It is my birthday too!
When I was in college, I drank free. All I had to do was find a bar full of Marines! Semper Fi

The Marines historically defeated the hippies of Berkeley, CA in the past year. It wasn't a fair fight, but it was satisfying to watch all the same. I hope they will stay here for a long time. Semper fi, Marines!
