Marines from Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego performed the Marine Corps birthday cake cutting ceremony to celebrate the Marine Corps' 240th birthday on Nov. 6. It is part of the Marine Corps birthday tradition to hold a ceremony in which birthday cake is cut and the first piece is given to the guest of honor. The second piece is then given to the oldest Marine present and handed down to the youngest Marine present to signify the passing of knowledge and experience.
The Marine Corps birthday is a tradition celebrated by Marines past and present. The actual birth date of the Marine Corps is Nov. 10.
