I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense - Article I, U.S. Military Code of Conduct
Today, we celebrate 249 years of independence and the timeless ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that continue to shape our great nation. Since before the nation's founding Marines have upheld these ideals around the world — serving with honor, courage, commitment, and an unwavering sense of duty.
Today, we honor the freedom granted by those who have come before us and the nation we are proud to serve.
Happy Birthday, America! 🇺🇸
