Woody’s Bar hosting 240th birthday celebration for US Marine Corps

Or better yet, “All right, they’re on our left, they’re on our right, they’re in front of us, they’re behind us…they can’t get away this time”.

On November 10, 1775, two battalions of Continental Marines were formed in Philadelphia.

From the oldest Marine to the youngest, he said, there’s a bond.

To celebrate, we’d like to say happy birthday to all the Marines around Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

– 240 years- That’s how long the Marine Corps has fought to keep America safe.

Gen. Lejeune concluded, “With it we have also received from them the eternal spirit which has animated our Corps from generation to generation and has been the distinguishing mark of the Marines in every age”. The team is dependent on the “one team, one fight” concept that Marines live by every day. The Marine Corps’ voice is one of quiet power and reverence befitting an institution this country has looked to as its protector for more than two centuries.

A small ceremony was held at the recruitment office, dedicated to the birthday, hosted by David Lasher, a former marine and a management analyst of the city of Santa Clarita. Now with over 188,800 Marines in 25 infantry battalions, the Corps endures and spans all domains, exemplified by the Eagle Globe and Anchor insignia and its motto Semper Fidelis, Always Faithful. You expect to see people you haven’t seen for a while and reunite with old comrades.

More Marines died at World War I’s Battle of Belleau Wood than in their entire history up to that point.. Words like “leatherneck”, “devil dogs”, “oorah”, “fire watch”, “jarhead”, and “SITFU”.

A lot of credit goes to adman J. Walter Thompson for that.

Though there is no actual historical reference to corroborate this story, the Marines continue to use “Devil Dogs” as one of their nicknames today.

Will Bornschien plans a military career, like his father, but in the U.S. Air Force, the Jamestown High School freshman said. “There’s no such thing as a former Marine”.

John Glenn was not only a Marine; he was also the first man to orbit the Earth in 1962. There are a few traits that have differentiated Marines from their counterparts in other military branches for 240 years. Take, for example, chef and restaurateur John Besh, a Marine who served in Desert Storm.
