250 years ago today, the first amphibious landing occurred.

At the outset of 1776, Continental Marines under the command of Captain Samuel Nicholas carried out the first amphibious landing in the history of the newly formed corps of Marines during the Battle of Nassau.

Leading approximately 200 #Marines and @USNavy #Sailors ashore, Nicholas seized key British positions and secured valuable cannons, munitions, and other military supplies.

The operation not only strengthened the Continental war effort but also demonstrated that the young nation possessed both the resolve and the capability to carry the fight for independence beyond its shores.

They brought their teammate’s kids out onto the ice with their dad’s jersey to celebrate. Their teammate was kiIIed by a drunk driver.

If this doesn't make you cry nothing will.

Devil Dogs

For 250 years, the world has come to know us by many names, but the one that echoes with unwavering strength and determination is Devil Dogs.

Marines stationed across the globe commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps, honoring a distinguished legacy of service, sacrifice, and unwavering fidelity to both the nation and fellow Marines.

Marine Gene Hackman talking about what makes the Marine Corps different:

“Once you’re in the Corps, you’re in the Corps for all your days on earth. Why is that?”

Early Tuesday morning, the FDNY responded to a fatal 2-alarm fire at 520 Mac Donough Street in Brooklyn. One person was pronounced dead at the scene. 

"Upon arrival, units encountered heavy fire in the first, second and third floor as well as in the roof. Our units quickly stretched multiple handlines, aggressively searched and extinguished the fire after it was a second alarm.  We had 25 units, approximately 120 people," said Deputy Chief Chuck Downey.

The fire was placed under control at 1:09 a.m. 
FDNY Fire Marshals are working to determine the cause of the fire.
