The Marine Corps today celebrates its two hundred and thirty fourth year of existence! Happy birthday and many more to an organization which has defended our freedom and woven a everlasting tapestry of amazing stories,Β  memorable battles and patriotism in action. Below are three of our Marine volunteers and one of our two former Marines on the staff at Patriots Point, which of them looks the most dangerous?
