Marine Corp Birthday

from Roger King Bits Hosted by Roger King

The Marine Corps was born in a bar -- the legendary Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, where the first Marines enlisted on November 10, 1775. The original building was torn down in 1781, but now, a brand-new Tun Tavern has opened just a block from the original site. Marine veteran Monty Dahm bought and rebuilt it as a tribute to patriotism and the Marines we've lost. A ceremony is being held today in Philadelphia to mark the Corps' 250th anniversary -- check out the photo of the new Tun Tavern opening later today. https://taskandpurpose.com/news/marines-tun-tavern-anniversary/
