To our active-duty Marines, Reserve forces, and all USMC Veterans—

On November 10th, 2025, we mark a profound and historic milestone: the 250th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps.

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, for two and a half centuries, Marines have answered the call, embodying the very essence of courage, commitment, and uncommon valor. Your unwavering dedication to God, Country, and Corps has protected our nation’s freedom across every clime and place.

We honor the legacy of those who have served and sacrificed, the unbroken chain of honor that runs from Tun Tavern to today’s forward-deployed forces. Whether you earned your title recently or decades ago, you belong to the few, the proud, and the mighty.

The discipline, toughness, and Esprit de Corps instilled in every Marine never fades. It shapes the service member and the citizen, ensuring that once a Marine, always a Marine.

Semper Fidelis! May the next 250 years be just as glorious.
