August 29, Marine Corps Reserve 110th Birthday: To celebrates the establishment and history of the Marine Corps Reserve forces. It marks the day in 1916 when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Naval Appropriations Act, officially creating the reserve force. It started with just 35 members during World War I and has grown to about 40,000 members. They support active-duty Marine forces during wars, national emergencies, and peacetime community missions.
