A house RESOLUTION

to congratulate the united states 
marine corps upon the occasion of its two hundred fiftieth anniversary and to 
commend the United States Marine Corps for its many years of dedicated service 
to the state of south carolina and the united states of america. 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives 
are pleased to recognize the United States Marine Corps as it celebrates this 
important milestone; and

Whereas, for two and a half centuries, the Marine Corps has stood as 
a living force of American courage, discipline, and unity. From the birth of 
our republic to the challenges of the modern world, the Marines have always 
proven that they can accomplish any task, defend any shore, and defeat any 
enemy; and

Whereas, the Marine Corps was born in the fires of revolution when 
the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Marines by 
resolution on November 10, 1775. From the first combat action at Nassau in 
1776, Marines have proven to be ruthless in battle, and lethal guardians of 
liberty and justice. From that moment onward, the Marines have helped shape the 
destiny of our nation, fighting beside Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New 
Orleans, standing firm in the trenches of World War I at Belleau Wood, and 
seizing victory after victory across the Pacific at Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, and 
Okinawa. They confronted communism in Korea and Vietnam, upheld the right to 
self-government in the Persian Gulf, and brought justice to our enemies in the 
deserts and mountains of the Global War on Terror; and

Whereas, Marines protect our embassies abroad, and ensure our federal 
law enforcement can do their jobs here at home. Wherever liberty has been 
threatened, the Marine Corps has answered with strength, courage, and 
unyielding honor. Today, the United States Marine Corps continues to stand as 
the shield and spear of our republic. Their courage in combat, disciplined 
precision, and relentless endurance are admired around the world, sure in the 
knowledge that true peace is secured only by superior strength; and

Whereas, from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, the 
United States Marines have time and again carved their names into history. 
Their motto, Semper Fidelus, meaning always faithful, speaks to the enduring 
strength of the corps and to the greatness of the country they defend - one nation, 
under God, steadfast, and forever free; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives 
express deep appreciation for the courage and dedication of the steadfast men 
and women of the Marine Corps who have carried the defense of our country upon 
their shoulders with valor and devotion. Now therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of 
Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by 
this resolution, congratulate the United States Marine Corps upon the occasion 
of its two hundred fiftieth anniversary and commend the United States Marine Corps 
for its many years of dedicated service to the State of South Carolina and the United 
States of America.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Eric M. Smith.
