November 10th, annually, is the birthday of the United States Marine Corps . Originally founded in 1775, the Corps was founded to serve as an infantry unit aboard naval vessels. Throughout the years, their mission has expended greatly, but the esprit de corps has never changed.

This year, the USMC celebrates their 250th birthday. As a Marine Corps veteran myself, this is a prodigious event. Butch's Bar , in Evansville, is hosting a birthday event this evening, beginning at 5:00 pm.

The USMC 250th Birthday Celebration Facebook page states:
