Happy, Healthy & Blessed Birthday
United States Marine Corps
1775 - 2024
The Marine Corps celebrates its birthday on Nov. 10, which marks when the Continental Marines were founded on that day in 1775 during the Revolutionary War.
This year is the 249th anniversary of the founding, when Captain Samuel Nicholas set up the first Marine Corps recruiting headquarters at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, Penn., looking for “a few good men,” according to the Marines official website.
The Marine Corps is one of the smallest services of the military, and recruited roughly 28,000 members in its most recent class.
Marines specialize in land, sea and air operations, known to be “the first in and last out.”
Older than the United States itself, the Marine Corps is the nation’s third-oldest branch of the military, according to Stripes.com, the U.S. military’s news organization.
