CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance touched down Saturday afternoon at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton to witness a full-force amphibious demonstration marking the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps.
Since taking office in January, the Trump administration has emphasized strengthening America’s military and restoring its professional and physical standards to usher in a new era for the men and women serving the nation. The Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) joined the vice president — a former Marine himself — and more than 15,000 Marines, sailors, and veterans to celebrate the Corps’s legacy with what officials said was the largest combined amphibious gathering in 30 years.
My fellow Marines, you have the watch now. You honor that legacy by how you carry yourself in public. You honor it by how you treat your friends and family. You honor it by how you contribute to your communities, and most importantly, you honor it and how you fight and win the nation’s battles. So from one Vice President to an incredible United States Marine Corps, keep kicking ass, keep taking names. Semper Fidelis, Marines. Happy 250th birthday. God bless you.
