U.S. Marine Corps Photo
A Marine field cook stationed in Bermuda shows the cake he baked for the Marine Corps birthday in 1943.
The
Marine Corps, 238-years-old today, has served a role in every conflict in the
history of the United States.
That's because the Marines operate on sea, air, and land and -unlike the other services - can respond to a crisis in under 24 hours with the full force of a modern military.
Today, there are more than 200,000 active-duty and reserve Marines.
To celebrate the Corps, we've pulled some of the coolest photos from the archives.
