The Marine Corps Birthday Celebration at the National Museum of the Marine Corps

There were two cake cutting ceremonies at the Museum today. At the 1000 ceremony, our oldest Marine was First Sergeant Don Thompson, born in 1917, enlisted in 1943, saw action on Tarawa and several other Pacific Islands. The youngest Marine was PFC Michael Scottodiluzio, born in 1989, enlisted March 2008, just completed boot camp four days ago.





For the 1300 ceremony, the oldest Marine was Sergeant Major Philip Mackert, born in 1919, enlisted in 1941. The youngest Marine was Lance Corporal Kris Horn, born 1989, enlisted January 2008.
