Conceived in Tun Tavern on whisky, dark ale, and cigars, born in Philadelphia by the Continental Congress on 10 Nov. 1775; weaned on the battle fields of 1812, coming to maturity at Belleau Woods, establishing its longevity on Iwo Jima, maintaining its esprit de corps in Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq, and Afghanistan, the United States Marine Corps is celebrating its 243 birthday today, 10 Nov. 2018.
To the men and women who are wearing and those who have warn the Eagle Globe and Anchor, Happy Birthday. May the Lord above look upon you with favor and protection in these grievous times.
Uncommon valor is still a common virtue. Semper Fi, Teufel Hunden
