General LeJeune's Marine Corps Birthday Message

On November 10, 1775, a Corps of Marines was created by a resolution
of the Continental Congress. Since that date, many thousand men have
borne the name Marine. In memory of them, it is fitting that we who
are Marines should commemorate the Birthday of our Corps by calling to
mind the glories of its long and illustrious history.

The record of our Corps is one which will bear comparison with that of
the most famous military organizations in the world's history. During
90 of the 146 years of it's existence the Marine Corps has been in
action against the nations foes. From the battle of Trenton to the
Argonne. Marines have won foremost honors in war, and in the long eras
of tranquility at home. Generation after generation of Marines have
grown gray in war in both hemispheres and in every corner of the seven
seas that our country and its citizens might enjoy peace and security.

In every battle and skirmish since the birth of our Corps Marines have
acquitted themselves with the greatest distinction, winning new honors
on each occasion until the term Marine has come to signify all that is
highest in military efficiency and soldierly virtue.

This high name of distinction and soldierly repute we who are Marines
today have received from those who preceded us in the Corps. With it
we also received from them the eternal spirit which has animated our
Corps from generation to generation and has been the distinguishing
mark of the Marines in every age. So long as that spirit continues to
flourish Marines will be found equal to every emergency in the future
as they have been in the past, and the men of our nation will regard
us as worthy successors to the long line of illustrious men who have
served as "Soldiers of the Sea" since the founding of the Corps.
