Summary
A birthday cake rests on a table during a special meal in celebration of the 241st Marine Corps Birthday at the mess hall Nov. 9 on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan. The Marine Corps Birthday has been celebrated since its foundation on Nov. 10, 1775 and has remained one of the most sacred Marine Corps traditions since. The meal was one of many served at mess halls on Marine Corps installations across Okinawa and featured options such as steak and lobster, a historical Marine Corps uniform pageant, and a live performance by the III Marine Expeditionary Force Band.
