On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress passed a resolution to raise two battalions of Marines as landing forces for the Continental Navy. This marked the birth of the Marine Corps. Today, we honor the courage, commitment, and sacrifice of every Marine who has served our great nation in the last 250 years. Your legacy of excellence and honor is an inspiration. Thank you for answering the call.
If someone you love is a Protector in active duty with the Marines, please tell them about Old Glory Protect, which offers them a $100,000 Line-of-Duty Death Benefit free with their Old Glory Bank account and direct deposit.
We stand with you.
