On this 231st birthday of the United States Marine Corps and on
Veteran’s Day tomorrow, I encourage everyone to thank a Marine,
Sailor, Soldier or Airman or a veteran of any military service for
being willing to risk their life so that we can have the freedoms
we all enjoy. Thank-you to my fellow Marines and to all service men
and women. You will remain in our prayers until all are out of
harm’s way.
A Little Marine Corp History
On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress meeting at Tun
Tavern in Philadelphia passed a resolution stating that "two
Battalions of Marines be raised" for service as landing forces with
the fleet. This resolution, established the Continental Marines and
marked the birth date of the United States Marine Corps. Marines
have fought in every armed confrontation the United States has been
involved in.
Marine Corps Motto
Semper Fidelis was adopted about 1883 as the motto of the Corps.
Taken from Latin, it means "Always Faithful." But it is more than
just a motto for Marines, it is a way of life. It is a commitment
we all share to our country, to our Corps, and to each other. This
is why there are no ex-Marines, only former Marines.
Cache is an Ammo can filled with Marine Corps Stickers donated
by the local Marine Corps Recruiting Office.
