An item from a fellow veterans organization in the Bay Area.
| Happy Birthday,
U.S. Marine Corps! |
| We build our lives on tradition. |
| At 245 years old today, the U.S. Marine Corps has had a lot of time to build up traditions. As does Marines’ Memorial Association who turns 74 today! Across the world, Marines are celebrating their birthday with time-honored customs like slicing a cake with a sword and handing out the first pieces to the oldest and youngest Marines in the room. It’s as much a part of their identity as the nickname “devil dog,” which dates to WWI! |
| Celebrate Our Heroes |
| A Marine’s character is less tangible than the Eagle, Globe and Anchor on his or her uniform, but it’s as much a tradition. And their diehard belief in loyalty, best summed up by the Marine Corps motto “Semper Fidelis,” Always Faithful, is something we can all easily adopt. |
| We hope you’ll celebrate this amazing milestone with us, because after the year we’ve had, we all deserve a reason to celebrate! |
| But this special day is also a reason to give back to the military community. Will you consider demonstrating your commitment to our veterans, currently serving and their families with a contribution? Supporting the Marines’ Memorial on this special day allows us to fund our programs, including: |
- Aid & Assist Program— Provides care packages for deployed service members, complimentary memberships for currently serving and subsidized rooms during training in the area and while transitioning to civilian life.
- Gold Star Parents Honor & Remembrance Event— Offers grieving parents the means to connect with a supportive community and build essential relationships that last a lifetime.
- Scholarship Program— Gives the children and grandchildren of veterans the opportunity to pursue higher education.

| By giving on this special day, you’ll follow a tradition older than our Nation — supporting those who volunteer to defend our freedoms today. |
