Happy 250th Birthday, United States Marine Corps!

Today, we proudly celebrate 250 years of honor, courage, and commitment. From 1775 to today, Marines have stood the watch—defending our Nation and upholding the values that define our Corps.

The Marine Corps League joins Marines everywhere in saluting all who have earned the title “Marine.” We honor those who came before us, those who serve today, and those who will carry our legacy forward.

Happy Birthday, Marines! Semper Fidelis!

Coming from a family full of patriots who have served and sacrificed for our country, I know how much our veterans give to protect our freedoms. This breakfast is a small way to honor them, and I hope you’ll join me on Thursday, Nov. 13 from 8-10 a.m. at American Legion Post 1 Williamsport. Our guest speaker will be Natalie Steppe, director of Lycoming County Department of Veterans Affairs.

New to this third annual event, UPMC North Central Region is partnering with C&N Bank, Bair Excavation, National Sporting Co., and John Ryan Brewery and John Roskowski to provide a free take-home dinner to each veteran, prepared by John Ryan Brewery. Come for breakfast with me and leave with a delicious, prepared dinner!

This is a complimentary event. Reservations aren’t required, but they are encouraged.
