Visit our website. http://www.usmchc.org/ Marine Corps and Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. We serve a wide diversity of both civilian and military audiences.

The USMC Historical Company is a not-for-profit educational corporation structured and operated as a professional agency established to support the United States Marine Corps, and Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. Our major tasks are two fold:

First is to develop and provide outreach and traveling historical educational programing focused on telling the Marine Corps Story. Second is provide cons

ultation, logistical, and material support to other agencies in providing Marine Corps historical programing. Our principle objective is to educate the public, and our fellow Marines in the history of the Corps, and function as a high profile public relations tool for the U.S. In so doing, we continually strive to objectively present the contributions of past Marines, highlight the relevance and impact of their actions on today's society, and enlighten and motivate this and future generations to the importance of the Marine Corps and its mission. However, the means with which we accomplish this mission is considerably varied and involved. The USMCHC goes far beyond the presentation of statistics or displays of ‘artifacts.’ Task with the responsibility of development and presentation of historical outreach programming worthy of the Marine Corps we endeavor to highlight the most important component of the Corps - its people. Employing a wide variety of tools and approaches such as lectures, interactive exhibits, demonstrations, ceremonies, and living history interpretive techniques to tell the story of the Corps and its people. Our members and staff actively interface with the public, teaching the relevance of history and the importance of it’s preservation. Most importantly, we endeavor to allow the public to get to know those Marines of the past on a personal level in ways that they can relate to. We strive to help the public better understand that, although the Corps has its own unique culture, these men and women who wore the Marine uniform have always come from throughout American society, and were/are, in reality, the same as people today, coming from all walks of life, with the same hopes, fears, and aspirations that make up each of us. We strive to show that what made these people extraordinary was earning the title “United States Marine”, and what they accomplished has had a direct effect on how we all live today.

On 8 November 2025, the Marine Corps Historical Company, working with the Commandant of the Marine Corps Protocol Office and Marines from Marine Barracks, Washington, assisted in presenting the annual Commandant of the Marine Corps Birthday program. The Historical pageantry covered the Corps history from 1775 to today. We fitted Marines from 8th and I in the historic uniforms at the HC Frederick office in October.

250 years ago today, the Continental Congress first issued the order for two battalions of Marines, sparking the recruiting process at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia. Since that day the Marine Corps has grown a great deal, lost the powdered wigs, and added helicopters, but the hard charging attitude and selfless service to country have stayed the same. To anyone who has proudly worn the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor: Happy 250th Birthday and Semper Fi!
