For one quarter of a millennium, we have defended our country. From the birth of our nation during the American Revolution, to the end of the Global War on Terror, our role as a naval-based amphibious force has played a defining role in turning the tides of each conflict into our Nation’s favor.
We have fought in every clime and place, and we maintain readiness to continue to be America's 9-1-1 anytime and anywhere we are called upon. Here's to the next 250.
Semper Fidelis & Happy Birthday, Marines!
