Happy Birthday Marines!

The United States Marine Corps traces its roots to the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War, formed by Captain Samuel Nicholas by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on 10 November 1775, to raise two battalions of Marines. That date is regarded and celebrated as the date of the Marine Corps' birthday. (Wiki)

The first recruiting station? Tuns Tavern.

Semper Fi and Happy Birthday to all Marines!

Oooorahhh!
