COT
250 years ago today (November 10 1775), in Philadelphia PA, the Continental Marine Corps (later the US Marine Corps) was formed, making it older than the US itself. Their first raid was of a British weapons cache in the Bahamas in March 1776, 4 months after they were formed. Since then they have served and fought in every major conflict – usually the first to arrive and the last to leave. YHC is humbled and grateful for their sacrifice, commitment and selfless service. Happy Birthday and Semper Fidelis.
