The United States Marines were formed in 1775 and for over two hundred years have been the foremost weapon of the American arsenal. The hymn of the United States Marines begins ‘From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.’ Although the United States Marines seldom ventured into Mexico and were hardly, if ever, seen in Tripoli, they did fight magnificently, in the War of the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Spanish-American War and World War I.
However, the greatest exploits of the Marines were undoubtedly in the Pacific Theaterof World War II.
