Member Center:
A branch of our Military is soon going to be another year older.
Marines at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort held a special celebration Wednesday to mark the Marine Corps' 231st Birthday coming up this Friday.
As part of the traditional ceremony, the Commanding Officer cut two pieces of cake. One for the oldest and the other for the youngest Marine at the Air Station. A celebration Marines cherish.
"It's a time when I get to sit back and reflect on everyone that's came before me, striving to be like they were and be the best I can be," said Cpl. Kyle Taylor.
Marines on Parris Island and throughout the globe will also be taking time out to celebrate the Corps Birthday. In fact, besides the cake cutting ceremony, Marines also hold balls.
