Happy Birthday, Army National Guard! As the oldest U.S. military organization, the National Guard was founded in 1636 as a colonial militia to protect families and towns. Today, the #NationalGuard comprises Citizen-Soldiers, who stand ready to respond rapidly to domestic emergencies and to deploy abroad in our nation’s defense. #NationalGuardBirthday #USMC

Throughout 2025, the #MarineCorps will engage in a nationwide campaign celebrating our 250 years as a Corps, featuring two national-level capstone events and six Marine Weeks across major cities, proudly showcasing the warfighting spirit of our Corps. Being a #Marine is not just a duty – it’s a calling that demands the best of each of us. We will carry forward the torch of honor, courage, and commitment, illuminating the path for those who will follow. This is a year to celebrate two and a half centuries of battles won, with a ruthless defense of our nation and our Allies for the next 250 years. Semper Fidelis!

"Would you like to make a difference?" This question could be heard coming from U.S. Marines clad in dress blues amidst a lively display of service members, civilians, and families lining up in multiple stores to prepare for the holidays. As many bought the latest gifts for their families, many more stopped before a single scarlet table labeled "Gifts for Hope" to support a cause helmed by U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Korea, on U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys, South Korea, Nov.29-30, 2024. In partnership with the Seoul Welfare Children Committee, MARFORK created the "Gifts for Hope" initiative where, for two days, U.S. Marines collect, package, and distribute donations to disadvantaged orphans in South Korea. Marines with MARFORK took the time to give back to the local community by donating a gift or working to collect donations near the merchandise mart section of the main postal exchange at USAG Humphreys. In the early afternoon, Marines dressed in their dress blue bravos, set up a donation table, and prepared a small tree decorated with small tags. The tags indicated the type of gift a potential donator could purchase for a child, and who the gift would go to. "This is the second year we're doing something like this... there's community involvement opportunities all the time, but something like [Gifts for Hope] on this scale is something else because it's the entire Humphreys community coming together to support the local South Korean community for the holidays," said Staff Sgt. Jonathan Hemme, a career planner at MARFORK and lead planner for Gifts for Hope. Maj. Gen. William E. Souza III, Commander of MARFORK, and Sgt. Maj. Ismael G. Bamba, Command Senior Enlisted Leader of MARFORK, also stood alongside their Marines and participated by garnering interest for the initiative. “It was an incredible opportunity for us to reach out to a community that has not seen this before. It wasn’t just Marines offering support, it was Americans. The outreach was incredible to see,” said Maj. Gen. Souza III. To read the full article ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e6nPe8Eu

Today, as we celebrate #NativeAmericanHeritageDay, we honor the legacy and contributions of the Navajo Code Talkers who helped secure Allied victory during World War II by utilizing their unwritten native language as an unbreakable code. Native American Marines like Cpl. John Kinsel Sr, who passed away in October at the age of 107, have served and carry on in our ranks the tradition of service, ingenuity, and our warrior culture. Of the 420 certified Navajo Code Talkers form the Greatest Generation, only two are still alive today. Peter MacDonald, 1928 – Present Corporal 6th Marine Division Thomas H.
