The message from the US Marines on their 250th page: Once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fidelis and Happy Birthday! Their start was on 10 Nov 1775. 

The year, just started on 4 Jul 2025, leads up to the 250th of the Nation which will be celebrated in June of 2026. The Marine page shows a schedule for activities for the public in 2025. An early event was the celebration held this year at Super Bowl LIX which was held in New Orleans, LA. 

From the Marine media page: 

• Since its founding in 1775, the United States Marine Corps has earned a distinguished reputation as one of the world's premier naval infantry forces. This legacy is built on an unwavering fighting spirit, strict adherence to the highest standards, and formidable marksmanship skills. This legacy was forged in combat using a tool of warfare that has evolved dramatically over the last 250 years - the rifle.
