Join LAFD in Celebrating the U.S. Marine Corps Birthday

The Los Angeles Fire Department is a highly regimented agency that endorses paramilitary command principles. The men and women of the LAFD therefore admire, respect and praise all who have honorably served in our nation's Armed Forces.

The tenth day of November however, is a special day on which we as sworn yet civil servants, extend our profound appreciation and well wishes to those who are United States Marines.

November 10, 2010 is the Marine Corps 235th birthday.



As is tradition, United States Marines past and present will gather in a dignified manner across the globe - including at several Los Angeles Fire Stations - to briefly celebrate the 235th anniversary of the Corps, and to hear a Birthday message from the Commandant.

In celebration of the remarkable men and women of the USMC, members, retirees and supporters of the LAFD will proudly host a public gathering to honor active, reserve and veteran Marines, including those who now serve as Los Angeles Firefighters.

Members and veterans of all military branches and civilian friends of the Corps are cordially invited to join Marines at this special event:

Wednesday, November 10, 2010
8:00AM - 9:30AM
Los Angeles Fire Department Museum
1355 North Cahuenga Boulevard
Hollywood, CA 90028

Military attire is welcome.
