Bad optics? U.S. Marine Commandant General David H. Berger of the Marine Corps is upset that one of his units in South Florida planned to hold its annual military ball at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.
DELRAY BEACH, Florida — U.S. Marine Commandant General David H.
"This November, let us together express our gratitude to those who came before, honor the devotion of those who gave the full measure, and revel in the Company of our brothers and sisters who live to defend the Constitution for one more day." The celebration of the Marines' founding dates back to 1921 when then-General John A. Lejeune, issued an order which summarized the history and hallmarks of the Corps and directed that Marines be read the order each year to honor the service on November 10th—when the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Marines in 1775. The first official birthday was held in Philadelphia in 1925, according to the Marine Corps Historical Society.
