I love the Marines. My brother was a Marine. But...
This isn't their birthday. The *Continental* Marines were founded in 1775; the service was 100% disbanded in 1783. There was no Marine Corps for a decade and a half.
The U.S. Marine Corps was founded in 1798. On July 11. That is the Corps' birthday.
