3 years ago
November 10th brings with it many things like special game and movie releases, peoples birthdays like for my mom, and many more activities about. However, the one thing that November 10th brigs us is the birthday of the United State Marine Corps.
On November 10, 1775, Robert Mullan, the proprietor of the Tavern and son of Peggy Mullan, was commissioned by an act of Congress to raise the first two battalions of Marines, under the leadership of Capt. Samuel Nicholas, the first appointed Commandant of the Continental Marines. Nicholas's grandfather was also a member of the Tun Tavern Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons and it is this relationship between Mullan, Nicholas and the Tavern which has resulted in Tun Tavern being acknowledged as the birthplace of the United States Marine Corps.

If you know someone or have a family member who is or has served with the Marie Corps, give them a thanks and happy birthday.
And for those who are serving or have served, Happy Birthday and Semper Fi! OOH-RAH
