Marine Corps Birthday
November 10, 2024
The United States Marine Corps was established on November 10, 1775, to augment naval forces in the Revolutionary War. The recruiting headquarters was set up by Capt. Samuel Nicholas in the Tun Tavern on Water Street in Philadelphia, which is considered to be the birthplace of the Marines.
The plan is to establish the reconstructed Tun Tavern in time for the Marine Corps’ 250th birthday in November 2025.
