MEMORANDUM

Posted: March 23, 2017 01:27 PM
From: Representative Francis X. Ryan
To: All House members
Subject: RESOLUTION – RECOGNIZING NOVEMBER 10, 2017 AS "MARINE CORPS DAY"
 
The United States Marine Corps was founded as the Continental Marines by a resolution passed by the Second Continental Congress on November 10, 1775.

The birth of the Marine Corps was to augment naval forces and the Tun Tavern on Water Street in Philadelphia, which was the original recruiting headquarters and is considered the Marine Corps’ birthplace.

The Marine Corps has fought with great courage on six continents and in every conflict in American history. They have fought valiantly in defense of the United States and its citizens and principles and additionally supports peacekeeping missions and humanitarian operations in numerous countries.

Please join me by cosponsoring this resolution in recognizing November 10, 2017 as “Marine Corps Day” in Pennsylvania in honor of the United States Marine Corps’ birthday.
