when is the marine corps birthday

The U.S. Marine Corps birthday is celebrated on November 10 each year. This date marks the founding of the Continental Marines in 1775, established by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The Corps also recognizes July 11, 1798, as the date the United States Marine Corps was officially established in its current form, but the traditional birthday observed today remains November 10, 1775. This annual celebration is often marked by ceremonies, cake-cutting at official events, and various unit celebrations around the world.
