Historical Background
The United States Marine Corps Flag was officially adopted on January 24, 1955, featuring the Marine Corps emblem (eagle, globe, and anchor) on a scarlet field with the words “United States Marine Corps.” It represents the Corps’ heritage dating back to November 10, 1775, when the Continental Marines were established. The flag is used in official ceremonies, headquarters, and processions to signify the Marines’ role as America’s expeditionary force in readiness, always faithful (“Semper Fidelis”).
