Happy 251st birthday, @USMC ! 🎈 #USSPACECOM celebrates the service of all Marines past and present, especially those serving within USSPACECOM's service component, @MARFORSPACE, helping ensure there's #NeverADayWithoutSpace. Semper, Fi!
251 Years at the Tip of the Spear
For 251 years, Marines have met every fight with resolve, precision, and an ethos that never wavers. The first to fight and the last to yield. America sleeps well because Marines stand the watch.
Happy Birthday, Marines. Semper Fidelis.
