Marine Forces Reserve Celebrates 241 Years of Service
Colonel Reidar Larsen, command inspector general of G-7, Marine Forces Reserve, and the oldest Marine present, takes a bite of cake during the 241st Marine Corps birthday celebration here, Nov. 9, 2016. Each year, the Marines celebrate the Corps’ birthday with a cake-cutting ceremony followed by a run. Since Nov. 10, 1775, the United States Marine Corps has garnered the reputation as the world’s most efficient amphibious fighting force, engaging in combat on battlefronts across the globe since its inception.
