USO Supporter,

On November 10, 1775, at the Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, the U. S. Marine Corps was born. And on Sunday, we honor “The Few and The Proud” by celebrating the Marine Corps’ 249th birthday.

Will you sign the Marine Corps' birthday card now to show your gratitude for our brave Marines through the years?

The Marine Corps’ birthday is a big deal here at the USO, not only to celebrate the storied history of the Marines but also to honor the sacrifice of thousands of active Marines who stand at the ready and are currently deployed, often far from their loved ones.

That‘s why we set a goal to reach 50,000 signatures via email and text message through Sunday. Please, will you sign the card to wish the USMC a happy 249th birthday and honor service members around the globe?

Thank you for supporting our military, and Semper Fi!

—The USO
