250th Marine Corps Birthday Message

250th Marine Corps Birthday Message

From the Commandant and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps

You Tube Channel United States Marine Corps Published on November 1, 2025

For one quarter of a millennium, we have defended our country. From the birth of our nation during the American Revolution, to the end of the Global War on Terror, our role as a naval-based amphibious force has played a defining role in turning the tides of each conflict into our Nation’s favor.

We have fought in every clime and place, and we maintain readiness to continue to be America's 9-1-1 anytime and anywhere we are called upon. Here's to the next 250.

Semper Fidelis & Happy Birthday, Marines!

(U.S. Marine Corps video by Chief Warrant Officer Joshua E. Chacon, Sgt. James Stanfield, and John Martinez)
