The United States Marine Corps, often the first into battle and the last to leave, will celebrate their 237th birthday on Saturday, November 10. Fittingly, since the Marine Corps was established during a meeting at the Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, they will gather for the ceremony locally at Trattoria Axixic (owned and operated by Juan Noltanious, a Marine).
During their history the Marine Corps has seen important engagements in the American Revolutionary War, the Quasi-War, Barbary Wars, the War of 1812, Seminole Wars, Mexican-American War, American Civil War, Spanish-American War, Philippine-American War, Boxer Rebellion, Banana War, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Iranian Hostage Rescue, Invasion of Granada, Bombing of Libya, Invasion of Panama, Persian Gulf War, Somali Civil War, Bosnian War, Kosovo War, War in Afghanistan, War in Iraq and the Bombing of Libya.
