November 10 – A Big Day For the Marine Corps
Acknowledging Military History on November 10
Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps organized under authority of the Continental Congress in 1775
179 years later in 1954 the Iwo Jima Memorial was dedicated in Arlington, Virginia, showing a group of servicemen raising the U.S. flag on the Pacific island battlefield during World War Two.
28 Years after that in 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial opened to the public.
This day in history, an important day in many ways for the men, women and families of the always faithful United States Marines!
