234 years old today! Enjoy a cold beer tonight, and then follow it up with another one for all of those who cannot partake, for they are earning the right to continue to be known as the most feared fighting force in the world. God bless all who have worn our beloved Eagle, Globe and Anchor before us, and all that share in the history that we are making for our Corps and our nation today. Happy Birthday. Semper Fi!

Not only most feared, but most internationally recognized. From the inside-out sleeve rolling to the dress blues, the Marine 'brand' is instantly identifiable by anyone anywhere. 1775-2009 and beyond, fighting for what is right and just. Semper Fidelis.

"The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!" - Eleanor Roosevelt

“I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world!” -Douglas MacArther
