Veterans Day Celebration

Marines:  The Continental Marines were formed on November 10th 1775., in Philadelphia as an infantry force capable of fighting both at sea and on shore. The Marine Corps has distinguished itself by serving in the majority of American wars, from its inception to the modern era. By the mid-20th century, the Marine corps had become the dominant practitioner of amphibious warfare. Their mission is to make Marines,  win our nation's battles and develop quality citizens. They form our reputation as America's force in readiness and are honored through the reciprocal commitment, between the Marine and Marine Corps, expressed in their motto:  semper fidelis, meaning always faithful.
