What is the Marine Corps?

Did you know that one of the most elite fighting forces in the entire world actually started in a restaurant? It’s true! Back in 1775, the US Marine Corps was founded in a tavern in Philadelphia. Join Mira and Finn as we travel through time to see how a small group of people recruited in a pub became the legendary team they are today! We are diving into history to witness their very first mission raiding the Bahamas and charging onto the sandy beaches of Iwo Jima to raise the famous American flag. You will learn all about their super cool motto, Semper Fidelis, which means “Always Faithful.” From the American Revolution all the way to today, the Marines have been first to the fight in every single war! Get ready to discover how they train, what they wear, and why they are so important to history. It is an action-packed adventure full of bravery and big surprises you won’t want to miss!
