In partnership with the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation (MCHF), the Marine Corps League Department of Minnesota will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps on November 15 with a ceremonial cake-cutting event.
To be held at the Veterans Service Building on the State Capitol grounds, the cake-cutting ceremony upholds a proud Marine Corps tradition — a symbolic renewal of each Marine’s enduring commitment to the Corps, honored each year with reverence and pride.
Minnesota’s cake-cutting ceremony will take place on Saturday, November 15 at 1 p.m. at the Veterans Service Building, 20 W. 12th St., 5th floor conference room. Refreshments will be served after the program.
“The annual birthday cake-cutting ceremony is a special ceremony for every Marine, as it’s a reminder of why we made this commitment to our nation and our service,” said Andrew McCormack, Commandant of the Marine Corps League Department of Minnesota. “This year’s ceremonies take on an added significance as we celebrate 250 years since the Marine Corps’ founding on November 10, 1775. It’s an opportunity to commemorate this historic milestone and show appreciation for all Marines who stand ready to protect our nation.”
