Happy Birthday Marines!
Happy Birthday Marines!
Quote: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 10 November 1775, to raise 2 battalions of Marines. That date is regarded and celebrated as the date of the Marine Corps' "birthday".

Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state.
