250 Years of Courage. 250 Years of Commitment
As the United States Marine Corps approaches its 250th birthday, we commemorate a distinguished legacy defined by courage, discipline, and an enduring commitment to service. For two and a half centuries, Marines have exemplified the highest standards of professionalism and leadership in defense of the nation.
This milestone serves not only as a tribute to the past but also as a reflection on the future. The Marine Corps continues to adapt to evolving global challenges while upholding the values of honor, courage, and commitment that have guided generations of Marines. The strength of the Corps lies in its people, the leaders who stand ready to serve with integrity and resolve.
To mark this historic occasion, we invite you to view our commemorative video:
As we celebrate 250 years of service, we honor those who have worn the uniform and look ahead to the continued excellence of Marine leadership in the years to come.
The Marine Corps University Foundation launched our 250 Campaign to celebrate the Corps’ 250th birthday and continue supporting Marines across the globe for many years to come.
We set an ambitious goal to raise $10 million by November 10, 2025 and we cannot do it without your help. Please help us celebrate this great milestone and considering donating!
