The Marine Corps was founded on this day in 1775, less than a month after the Continental Navy. Yes, the Marine Corps predates the United States. It was the Continental Marines in those early days. Two months after their founding, the Marines made their first amphibious landing in the Bahamas. Since then, the Marines have often been the first in the fight for America's war and military actions.
Happy Birthday and Semper Fi, Marines!
