Happy 250th, America!

Celebrating 250 years of independence and the enduring ideals of liberty, opportunity, and justice that shape our nation.

Since our nation's founding, Marines have upheld these ideals around the world, serving with honor, courage, and commitment.

Today, we honor the freedom they defend and the nation we’re proud to serve.

The Forgotten War

Today, we honor the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of the #Marines who fought in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953.

Often referred to as the "Forgotten War," its impact on global history and the defense of South Korea is immeasurable.

Semper Fidelis

Corpsman Up!

Today, we celebrate and recognize the @USNavy Corpsmen who have stood alongside our #Marines for 128 years.

Since June 16, 1898, Navy Corpsmen have embodied the spirit of #SemperFidelis. From naval hospitals to the battlefield, they remain always faithful, treating our wounded and keeping Marines in the fight.

To the #Corpsmen in our ranks, we thank you for your unwavering dedication to duty and to our Marines.

Semper Fidelis.

RIP David Allan Coe - Spent so much time with David over the years, touring, writing songs and just hanging out. I knew a side of Dave most people never got to see. He was such a deep thinker, kind and about as real as an outlaw can get! He did not give a damn what anyone thought of him. Always loved this cover of 'Only God Knows Why' he recorded on his tour bus. He also wrote 'Single Father' for me after spending a few days at my Ortonville MI home YEARS ago with me and my son. I still have piles of songs I need to dig up we wrote together. Rock on David. Love ya brotha.

“…Marines love being Marines and I’m responsible for their moral and welfare but you have the authority to create change…”

We stand ready regardless of the outcome because Marines do more with less. 🦅🌎⚓️

Today we take a moment to honor the legacy of nearly 500,000 Marines who served during the Vietnam War.

When Marines landed in Vietnam in 1965, their courage was tested in some of the most storied battles and operations in Marine Corps history—including Operation Starlite, Operation Hastings, Khe Sanh, Hue City, and Operation Dewey Canyon.

Their service in the jungles and cities of Vietnam would help reshape the Marine Corps’ approach to warfighting and cement their contributions to the Corps’ history.

Today, on March 27th, we recognize our Marine Raiders and their contributions to the unseen world of special operations.

These elite warfighters, designated by the 0372 job series number, represent the Corps’ contributions to @USSOCOM. They are trained in direct action, special reconnaissance, counterterrorism, unconventional warfare, and numerous other unique missions. They are forged through a grueling nine-month training course teaching demolitions, diving, foreign languages, close-quarters combat, and wilderness survival, among other special training.

Spiritus Invictus is embodied by all Raiders.

🎂 Happy anniversary MARSOC!

For the past 20 years, Marine Forces Special Operations Command has delivered the same promise: Always Faithful, Always Forward, and Always Lethal. We are thankful for the unconquerable spirit of every Raider and all you have done to keep the tip of the spear sharp. ♠️

250 years ago, one mission helped fuel a revolution.

On March 3, 2026, watch the short documentary on America’s first amphibious landing and learn how a small corps of #Marines helped lay the foundation of the few and proud.

🚨 The SgtMaj of the Marine Corps just did something a little different and put this out, asking leaders across the Corps to lean in and help.

This is leadership. A powerful message that challenges all of us to listen and engage.

@mchooyah Yawn. Who even are these dopes? Are they just crying out because we picked on them and ignored them when they wore a uniform? They need to hear us laughing at them now, too.
