Please keep reading for some facts about the United States Marine Corp.
The U.S. Marine Corp formed on November 10th, 1775, and has been honored by the men and women who served, mothers, fathers, wives, children, and people who simply want to recognize those who have fought hard for our country and served America with pride. The scarlet and gold surrounding the emblem are the official Marine Corps colors, which can be found on countless t-shirts, emblems, tattoos and other Marine accessories. These in turn are enclosed by Navy blue and gold signifying the Marine Corps as an integral part of the naval team. The USMC mascot is the English Bulldog. Their motto is Semper Fidelis; Latin for Always Faithful. Until 1871 it was “First to Fight”, a motto that still applies today. Through the years, Marines have shortened it to Semper Fi, and “Semper Fi, Mac” which is the universal Marine Greeting.
The Marines’ Hymn is the oldest official song in the U.S. Armed Forces. The words are dated from the 19th century. The music is from the opera, “Genevieve de Brabant” by Jacques Offenbach, which opened in Paris in 1859. The Marine Corps secured a copyright on the song on 19 August 1919.
There are several nicknames for the Marines, many of which you are probably familiar with including:
Leatherneck
This name originates from the stiff leather stock that early Marines wore around their necks, probably to protect their jugular vein against saber blows.
Devil Dog
The Germans after the battle at Belleau Wood in World War I called the Marines “Teufelhunden”, which translates as Devil Dog, because of the fierce fighting that the Marines demonstrated.
Jarhead
This was a slang term used by sailors in World War II because Marines in their Dress Blues with the stiff collar resembled Mason Jars.
The President’s Own
Gyrene
Formed from the combination of G.I. and Marine
America’s (The World’s) 911 Force
The Marine Corps has earned this nickname by being the first forces called in a crisis. During the Cold War, Marines were called upon to protect our nation’s interests on an average of once every 15 weeks.
There are many shirts and emblems that contain these nicknames.
The United States Marine Corps values are:
