Happy Birthday to all my fellow Marines. And to all, thanks for the good wishes.

The Continental Marines were born on November 10, 1775, half a year before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The same Continental Congress that created the Marines had previously created the Continental Navy, in October of 1775.

The Marines were absorbed into the Navy in the 1830's.
