Today, November 10, 2025, marks the 250th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps. The commissioning of the Corps took place in Tun Tavern, Philadelphia, on November 10, 1775. Its mission was to be a hard-hitting, fast-moving, and highly compelling amphibious infantry landing force for United States Navy vessels. The mission remains the same today.                

I was proud to claim the title of United States Marine during the Vietnam War Era. I am still proud to claim the title of U.S. Marine today, as do my brothers and sisters of the Corps.

Semper Fi!
