Semper Fidelis, Marines! It's Marine Corps birthday time!
Yes, that's right. Back on Nov. 10, 1775, our glorious Marine Corps came alive. And that also means we'll be celebrating our 242nd anniversary with a Birthday Ball at a nice venue off base.
You must be just as excited as I am. I'm tearing up just thinking about Gen. John A. Lejuene's birthday message, the cutting of the cake, and the beautiful ceremony we will once again witness this year.
