About the United States Marine Corps:
The Marine Corps defends the people of the United States at home and abroad. Within every Marine is the willingness to engage and determination to defeat any adversary, and it is this fighting spirit that allows us to fight and win our Nation’s battles.
The mission of the United States Marine Corps is made up of three promises: We make Marines, we win our Nation’s battles, and we develop quality citizens prepared to fight and win battles.
You don’t join the Marines-you become one, forged in the crucible of training aboard our recruit depots on Parris Island, South Carolina, and in San Diego, California, or through the dedication required of officer candidates at Officer Candidates School in Quantico, Virginia. Beyond the physical requirements, aspiring Marines must prove they have the honor, courage, and commitment to face and defeat any obstacle.
Today, more than 180,000 enlisted Marines and 23,000 Marine Officers serve in active duty or reserve forces on bases and in communities around the world, proudly carrying with them the core values of the Marine Corps.

We just can't Thank our Marines enough for all they did, are doing & will be doing for our Beautiful Country so we can have our FREEDOM. After all, our FREEDOM is not free.

Don’t join past 28. I lost my chance. I joined up later in life as an older cat with my old branch due to legal stuff from my early 20’s that got expunged & I joined up immediately

How About Born in Tun Tavern 1775. 2 battalions of Continental Marines were Formed by the 2nd Continental Congress. Wow A Recruiting Page getting it WRONG!!!??? Just WOW!!!

[@marinecorps]

We've been fighting for our cause since the Corps was formed in 1775. Today we're celebrating Independence Day, July 4, 1776.

[@antisocialgaming8354]

A commenter not understanding a video? Just WOW!!! Could've never seen that one 🙄 Here's a little f.y.i. for context on the "Born from a fight in 1776" date the Devil Dogs mentioned in this video. (In case you didn't know) In 1776, Continental Congress issued the Declaration of Independence. Which means, AMERICA, was born on 1776. a.k.a. INDEPENDENCE DAY. You understand now? I mean, I'm sure we can break it down shotgun style even further for you if you'd like.

[@drewkavanaugh3553]

Yes, but I can understand his confusion due to us being very conscious of the Marine Corps Birthday, which is 10 Nov 1775. I almost thought they flubbed it too, until a second later I realized it was a July 4th video. So, go easy on him. Plus, we tend to eat crayons pretty regularly, and they can block some of the neurons in our brains from firing properly!! Semper Fi!

I do believe that most in the Marines and the whole of the military take their oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States as a solemn vow. What's going on today, with the SCOTUS making Kings out of Presidents, I greatly hope that we don't have to relive 1776 again...

As a Marine, an Afghan & Iraq veteran, all I have to say to the younger generation is “The US has been running around the globe trying to instill democracies & it hasn’t worked once.
