November 10 Marine Corps Birthday

November 10 Marine Corps Birthday

Today day is November 10 The US Marine Corps Birthday observed every year with a traditional ball and cake-cutting ceremony. On that day in 1775, the Continental Marines were established.
Tun Tavern, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is regarded as the birthplace of the Corps as the location of the first Marines to enlist under Commandant Samuel Nicholas, though it is disputed if a recruiting drive may have occurred earlier at Nicholas's family tavern, the Conestoga Waggon . When the Revolutionary War ended in 1783, the Continental Navy was disestablished, and with it, the Continental Marines. The Corps was re-established on 11 July 1798, when the "act for establishing and organizing a Marine Corps" was signed by President John Adams. (With material from Wikipedia)
Today we have to Thank a Marine for their service by email, flowers, using social media and much more as you think.
