United States Marine Corps turns 242 years-old today

The United States Marine Corps turns 242 years-old today. 

On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress adopted a resolution to create a Marine force composed of two battalions. 

Since then, the Marines have been “from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli” and many other places as well.

You probably know that the Marine Corps’ motto is Semper Fidelis, or Semper Fi for short. It means “always faithful” in Latin.

Thank you to the few and the proud!!! Happy Birthday!!
