I kept getting goosebumps throughout the video. All i can say is this No one fights better and serves this great nation better than the United States Marines they are truly the most elite fighting force on earth! And will always be the most ready when the nation is the least ready. Stay motivated and Happy birthday to the Corps and to all the Marines, Semper Fidelis, Always Faithful.
As the proud Daughter of a Marine, Richard Bates (USMC Chosin Reservoir) "The Chosin Few," and the wife of a Marine, Dennis Long, USMC Vietnam era I wish the United States Marine Corps a Happy 240th Birthday! God bless you all and thank you for serving this great nation! Semper Fi!
I recently reached out to my parents, who are both back home in India. They moved to the United States in 1980. They came here to provide me and my brothers a better life. To thank them, and the country which provided our family a better life, I joined the Marine Corps. Without this country, and the sacrifice my parents made, I wouldn't be here, without the Corps, I wouldn't be the man I am today. To all the Marines, in country, deployed, with their families, THANK YOU, for giving me a second family. We are the best. Now pop that collar, walk with that cocky swagger you deserve, and remember, the Corps will remain with you till the day you die.
Happy Birthday Marines !!! Very proud my son and nephew is serving the U.S Marines, one in Hawaii and the other in San Diego! !! God bless all the Marines and their leaders, with strength, honor,and wisdom !!
I remember running off the bus in 1980 to stand on the yellow footprints where my father and grandfather once stood. The feeling of pride was stronger then anything I had ever felt. At last I was going down the same road as the men in my family. The next six years made me the man I am today and allowed me to overcome many obstacles in my life. I haven't put on the uniforms hanging in my closest since 1986 but the same pride still flows through me as it did then. Happy Birthday Boys. Semper Fi and God Bless you all.
+chesty puller My dad went though in 1950 at MCRD San Diego, made the Inchon landing and helped save the Capitol. I feel the same pride now as I did back in 81 after graduation. Semper - Fi brother.
Were all Marines once we go off that Parade field in our uniforms. our loyalty for each other never fails unlike the other services. I've been around the world and met lots of people and still I see a Marine say Hi to another Marine. Semper Fi brothers and sisters wherever you are.
240 years of kickin' butt & takin' names, in the pursuit of protection our nation, and of protecting each other. My years in our beloved Corps ('65-'75) are among the very best of my life, and I will cherish them and the Marines I have known (both living & gone) for as long as I draw breath. Here's to us and those like us, past, present & future, and to hell with all the rest. Semper Fidelis, Marines! Ooooraah! Gunny Mad Dog, USMC, Med/Ret. Khe Sanh Veteran
Words can never express my gratitude for all of you in the Marines, more over, gratitude for all those who have sacrificed on our behalf. Thank you and God Bless, Happy Birthday.
I just wanted to stop by and say Happy Birthday and thank you so much for your service and all your sacrifices for this great Country and for my freedoms. Stay safe, be well and keep kicking ass for America! Hugs, Sparrow Six-Five!
Still proud to carry the title and share the honor with so many. Thank you to my fellow Marines and their families! You will always be in my prayers and in my heart! Semper Fidelis! Oorah!!
Happy belated birthday to all Marines! Marines are a unique breed. They run toward danger when every instinctive thing tells them the exact opposite. I am so proud to have served, 93-99, 2nd FSSG, 26th MEUSOC, MSSG 26, and am honored to have served with some of the best human beings on the planet. I personally think that one of the best attributes of a Marine is Honor. It was a great thing to know that when you needed help, another Marine was instantly there. To me that was/is a good feeling. It lets you do things that would otherwise never be possible. Semper Fi!!!
That was heart warming and I'm so very proud of my son who is a USM, and I wish the entire USMC a warm happy birthday. God Bless The USMC. respectfully a Marine Mother.

It saddens me when 23, Oct. 1983 is still being glossed over. 220 of my fellow MARINES where popped in a second.The message said other conflicts in the 80s. Thats what happens when our CIC turns tail and runs. Once a MARINE always a MARINE. Semper - Fi devil dogs. Long live the Corps. (for all you non MARINES just google 23 oct 1983)
+Kelly Miedema The people who count haven't forgotten you or your brothers. I was in high school at the time and one of the Marines there had graduated from my high school a few years before. When he was able to come home on leave he came and gave a speech at our school. Watching that corporal talk and watching his bearing and his confidence in who and what he was is what led me to finally enlist in 92 (a little late, I know, but I spent some time in college). I finally retired in '13 as a GySgt and having worked with some of the finest men to have ever walked this earth. Beirut will never be far from our minds. Semper Fi, brother!
+Michael Taylor 220 MARINES, 18 SAILORS, 3 SOLDIERS. 128 wounded 13 later died from wounds received. 258 total deaths on one day for a mission that was destine to failure. "They came in peace" and left in pieces. The largest loss of life on one day for the MARINE CORPS since Iwo-Jima. Reagan could have done more for these brave MARINES before the blast, and for their families after. And as he looks on Heavens scene he should apologize to everyone one of those men before he is allowed to walk on the their streets. Thats one of the reasons I only stayed in for 6 years. The other was to be with my family more. I live on a hill 3 miles from the rear gate of Pendleton so every 23 Oct. and 10 Nov. I do a left face and tip one to the Corps. And I know what you mean by a little late. I was 26 when I stepped on those yellow footprints, following in my fathers footprints. He served from 1950 to 54. He served on Korea and made the Inchon landing. Thanks for your sacrifice Gunny. 258 RIP.
Happy Birthday Marines...! For your Service, sacrifices, and contributions to Our Freedom and Liberties, none of which is FREE. To Our Fallen Brothers, you are Never Forgotten and we celebrate this 240th Birthday in Memory of YOU.Semper Fi
On May 2, 1778, when the Continental Army was beginning to emerge from its infamous quarters at Valley Forge, General Washington commended his troops for their courage and patriotism and reminded them: "While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian..."
At 1:58 that was me...That was SSgt Clover, the greatest Drill Instructor I have had. I teared up when he gave me my EGA. He never gave up on me when I gave up on myself.
May we, an ever grateful nation that cherishes freedom, which protects those who cannot protect themselves as well as defend our own freedom, be ever thankful for those who are willing among us to take up arms to defend that which we see as the cornerstone of freedom and justice. Be that within our borders, or to our friends abroad. Marines will always prevail. Sempre Fi
Great Video as always! I am a little disappointed that they did not mention Operation Steel Curtain. The Marines celebrated that USMC Birthday ten years ago during that battle.

as usual, another great video, but as a Marine, Lt Col. Hinson does not speak for me, GOD always comes first, and in the 3 tours I did in both theaters, I fought for the Marines to my left and right flanks, sorry but the way I see it is, GOD, Marines, Corps, and then country. let's not kick GOD out of the service too.
+nojawas: Well said "nojawas". I prefer the USMC video with Marines singing "These Are The Days of Elijah". I admit as a career Marine we put Corps first and focused on mission success but it should have always been God first. Our families most often took a back seat to the Corps as well. Mission failure was not an option but we should always remember by putting God first we cannot fail! God bless all Marines on our 240th Birthday!
+nojawas Not everyone believes in God. I certainly dont believe in your God. I wouldnt put your God over my dog. Maybe you should explain that to all the people who werent Christian that lost their life in ww2 vietnam and all the other wars. If there is a God. He doesnt come first, but sorts the bodies out later.
+SeriouslyGuzzed well, here we go, if you had taken the time to actually read my post, rather than just troll around being a keyboard warrior on a quest to be heard, I said he doesn't speak for "me." but as usual , atheists have no tolerance for religion or anyone else beliefs. so thank you for attacking the very freedoms this video represents. I'm sorry your life is empty and pointless, but hey its your choice. Semper Fi.
i have low arches in my feet it doesn;t affect how i run and it doesn't cause me any pain can i still be an infantry marine? Happy birthday Marines Semper FI
You should be fine , as long as your condition doesn't impair your ability to function normally and affect your carrying power. I don't remember exactly, but I do believe that if it comes down to it , you could get a waiver for that. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong . Semper Fi , good luck
Had the same going in. If you haven't had actual medical procedures/injuries (ie stress fracture), it'll likely not even come up. Even if it does, the head Doc that reviews your paperwork at MEPS will likely just tell you to get some orthotic inserts (we had these issued when I was at OCC, but not when I went through Boot in '07). Apart from the issue of passing your MEPS examination, do yourself a favor AND DON'T RUN ON YOUR HEELS. 7 years and 3 stress fractures later, I finally re-evaluated my running gait and have been all the better for it.
+Ben Walker thank you i haven't had any injuries in my feet and when i get to basic training do i need to ask for inserts or do they give them to you based on the arch of your feet? thanks for all the info btw
You'll pretty much never 'ask' for anything for the next four years: ) If the Doc says you're flat footed, you'll get inserts. Don't worry about that so much as conditioning yourself for running and hiking in boots with a pack. I'd suggest starting to train for this now, but get into it very slowly and STOP if anything hurts.
Is there any way possible to get an age waiver approve at the age of 37 to join the Marine Reserves without prior service? Or is there anyone in the Marines an officer or someone with rank that I could submit a petition to ,for this to be consider?
