SOFREP Wishes The Marine Corps a Happy 250th Birthday!

Happy 250th, Devil Dogs

Two and a half centuries of grit, guts, and glory—now that’s one hell of a reason to throw a party big enough to shake Tun Tavern itself. From the sandy shores of Tripoli to the dusty alleys of Fallujah, the U.S. Marine Corps has been where the fight’s hardest and the stakes highest. This cartoon tips its cover to the few and the proud with a towering cake worthy of their legacy—and a reminder that after 250 years of breaking things and saving lives, they’ve more than earned an extra scoop of ice cream. They’ve earned our respect. 

Here’s to the Next 250

The Marines have never been about half measures. They charge first, fight hard, and leave the world a little safer in their wake.

So here’s to every Marine past, present, and future—thank you all for two and a half centuries of courage under fire and steadfast service to the Republic.

May the next 250 years be as bold, unflinching, and unapologetically hardcore as the last.

Semper Fi!
