On November 10, 1775, the US Marine Corps was established constantly Mainland Congress in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Fittingly, "Tun Bar" was where history was made, with the main Marines enrolling under Commandant Samuel Nicholas.
Since that date, Marines have been in continuous support of our country and have separated themselves "in each clime and spot," in far away grounds and on far off, remote sea shores "from the Lobbies of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli," in France during The Second Great War at Belleau Wood, on Iwo Jima and all through the Pacific Islands during The Second Great War, at Inchon and the Chosin Repository during the Korea Battle, at Khe Sanh and Shade City during the Vietnam Battle, all through Iraq in such stations as Fallujah and the Anbar Region, and in horrendous battle in the rough heaps of Afghanistan- - only a couple of many spots, a sparse notice of the numerous combat zones where US Marines have been called to obligation.
Marines have gallantly, without a second thought, addressed our nation's call, never wavering in their devotion nor steering in their faithfulness. "Semper Fidelis" (Consistently Unwavering) is each Marine's maxim, and "When a Marine, Consistently a Marine" their belief.
The Marines' Psalm announces "... assuming the Military or the Naval force at any point look on paradise's scenes, they will find the roads are watched by US Marines."
Capability so.
To formalize the Marine Corps' establishing, on November 1, 1921, Significant General John A. Lejuene, Commandant of the Marine Corps around then, gave MARINE CORPS ORDERS No. 47 (Series 1921), some portion of which read as follows:
In each fight and clash since the introduction of our Corps, Marines have absolved themselves with the best differentiation, winning new distinctions on each event until the expression "Marine" has come to imply all that is most noteworthy in military productivity and soldierly ideals. This high name of differentiation and soldierly notoriety we who are Marines today have gotten from the people who went before us in the Corps. With it we have additionally gotten from them the timeless soul which has enlivened our Corps from one age to another and has been the distinctive characteristic of the Marines in each age.
In The Second Great War, on one specific island in the Pacific Sea, Iwo Jima, the famous 1945 photo of six Marines raising a US banner on Mount Suribachi during the fight was taken by Related Press battle photographic artist Joe Rosenthal. That photograph later turned into the most perceived image of the US on the planet, and is the reason for the Marine Corps War Remembrance (Iwo Jima Commemoration) a public landmark in Arlington, Virginia. Chief of naval operations Chester Nimitz considered the unimaginable penance of the Marines who battled at Iwo Jima by saying, (Among the ones who battled on Iwo Jima) "Remarkable boldness was a typical prudence," words recorded in the stone at the base.
As do all Marines- - well-trained, resigned, or previous, any place they might find themselves today, November tenth - I honor the people who went before me- - and later - having given such a huge amount in support of their Corps and country. Presently many years more seasoned, I obviously recollect the essences of those with whom I served- - then, at that point, undaunted young fellows and ladies, unselfish in their dedication, enduring in their faithfulness, never scrutinizing their grave obligation to shield our country from all adversaries, unfamiliar and homegrown.
