245th Marine Corps birthday Nov. 10

Tuesday, October 27, 2020

Dear Editor,

The United States Marine Corps will be celebrating their 245th birthday on Nov. 10.

The Continental Congress established the Marine Corps as a new branch of the military on Nov. 10, 1775. Therefore, local Marines and attached Naval personnel will be celebrating the anniversary of our beloved Corps.

The festivities will be held at the Eagles Club in McCook, beginning with social hour at 5:30 pm, with sit-down Roast Beef dinner and the ceremonial Marine Corps cake cutting to follow.

Marines and attached Naval personnel, please secure your reservation by calling the Eagles Club after 5 PM at 308-345-6216. Cost is $15.00 per person. We hope to see many of our “Jarheads,” spouses and attached Navy personnel in attendance.

Semper Fi

  • Happy Birthday Marines !! 245 years of proud service to the USA - older than the nation itself. As they say Marines run to the sound of gun fire. Hope to share the Birthday with you in person at some point in time.
