Happy 236th Birthday U.S. Marine Corps
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. - Marine Corps Maj. Adrian Armold, one of four Marines assigned to the Joint Space Operations Center here, cuts the cake for the celebration of the 236th U.S. Marine Corps birthday Thursday, Nov. 10, 2011. Formed in 1775, the USMC has served in every American armed conflict and has the unique ability to rapidly deploy a combined-arms task force to almost anywhere in the world within days.
