For 251 years, Marines have stood ready to fight and win our Nation’s battles.
From the early days of the American Revolution to today’s engagements, the Marine Corps has served as a decisive naval and amphibious force, projecting power, defending our interests, and helping turn the tide in conflicts around the world. Across every clime and place, Marines remain ready to be the first to fight whenever and wherever our Nation needs them.
As America’s 9-1-1 force, the Marine Corps continues to set the standard for readiness, resolve, and warfighting excellence.
Semper Fidelis & Happy Birthday, Marines!
