250 Years of Winning Our Nation's Battles For one quarter of a millennium, we have defended our country. From the birth of our nation during the American Revolution, to the end of the Global War on Terror, our role as a naval-based amphibious force has played a defining role in turning the tides of each conflict into our Nation’s favor. We have fought in every clime and place, and we maintain readiness to continue to be America's 9-1-1 anytime and anywhere we are called upon. Here's to the next 250. Semper Fidelis & Happy Birthday, Marines!

Today, on Gold Star Mothers’ and Families' Day, we honor a sacrifice unlike any other. The loss of a service member leaves an irreplaceable void, not only in our ranks, but in the lives of their loved ones. We stand with the families of our fallen, recognizing their enduring strength, the resilience they demonstrate in the face of unimaginable grief, and vowing to never forget the heroes they loved and the ultimate price they paid for our freedom. Their memory lives on, inspiring us to uphold the values they stood for. #USMC #SemperFi #NeverForget
