On Saturday, March 5th, the Command Museum opened its new Centennial exhibit to commemorate the 100th anniversary of MCRD San Diego. A Ribbon Cutting event was held. It featured two performances by the Marine Corps Battle Color Detachment and a guest reception with special remarks from Commanding General Jason L. Morris and local elected officials. The Museum Foundation was honored to support this historic event in partnership with the Museum and Recruit Depot.
The San Diego Marine Corps Recruit Depot officially opened on December 1st, 1921. It was the first permanent expeditionary base on the West Coast of the United States. San Diego was chosen as its destination because it had several natural strategic advantages. San Diego has a natural harbor, it is a warm water port, and it is in the southernmost part of the West Coast. Today, MCRD San Diego continues to train Marines by instilling a fighting spirit, core values, and esprit de corps in every recruit, which has ensured the Corps’ success for over 240 years.

In 1867, Jacob Zeilin became the first non brevetted Brigadier General Commandant in Marine Corps history. This was the first time that Congress had authorized this rank in the Corps. During Zeilin’s time as Commandant, he challenged two efforts by Congress to disband the Marine Corps, once in 1867 and again in 1874. BGen Zeilin also approved the ‘Eagle, Globe, and Anchor’ design for the Marine Corps emblem.

Four days after landing on Iwo Jima, 1stLt Harold G. Schrier led 40 men to the top of a 556 extinct volcano, Mount Suribachi. A newer regiment, the 28th Marines, reached the crest of the mountain's crater within an hour and planted an American flag on the summit. Recognizing the historical significance of taking control of the island, five Marines and a corpsman raised a larger flag in its place. Joe Rosenthal photographed this moment which became a historic moment, and the symbol of the 7th war bond drive.

While a small handful of black men served with the Continental Marines during the Revolutionary War, the Marine Corps did not formally integrate after its re-establishment until June 1941. More than 19,000 African American Marines trained at Montford Point from 1942 to 1949. This unique and heroic group of Marines participated in Pacific island invasions such as Saipan, Tinian, Guam, Peleliu, Okinawa, and Iwo Jima.

19 Nov 1868 - Eagle, Globe & Anchor
“The spirit of the Marines of Korea, Vietnam, and Kuwait still animates those who wear the Eagle, Globe and Anchor today.” -- General James L. Jones, 32d Commandant, November 2000
Marine uniforms had featured a variety of insignia in the early decades – “plumes, cockades, tassels, and epaulettes,” either prescribed or locally adopted. In 1834, Headquarters specified that a 3-inch-wide brass eagle be worn on the hat, then in 1859 switched to a gold bugle and a silver “M.”
A board appointed by Commandant BGen Jacob Zeilin approved on 19 November 1868 the present Marine Corps emblem, designed by Lt George Reid, aided by a Washington, DC jeweler. It borrowed the globe from the Royal Marines, but showing the western hemisphere. The eagle and the anchor made clear the nature of the Corps as both American and maritime.
This shoulder board Eagle, Globe, and Anchor was worn by Lt George C. Reid, c1869. It is one of the earliest examples of the iconic insignia.
11/11/2021
Today we salute all men and women who took an oath to serve and defend. We thank all veterans past and present for their service and sacrifice. Happy to all who have answered our nation's call.

Need some help Marines. I’m trying to find anybody who served with PFC SIPPLE, OLIVER W, he also went by “Billy.” He was originally from Detroit, MI but looks like he enlisted at Houston, TX and went to boot at MCRD San Diego on October 10, 1967 and graduated on December 14. I don’t know his platoon # at SD but he was trained at 2nd Bn. He then went onto Pendleton for infantry training at 3rd Bn, 2nd ITR and got sent to Vietnam with Kilo Co, 3rd Bn, 4th Marines. From what I’ve got so far, he didn’t make it for the 13 months. He got wounded in the head in December of 1968 and was medevac’d to Camp Butler on Oki and then sent to Navy Hospital Philadelphia via Seattle. He stayed in Philly until he was medically discharged on March 23, 1970. He was in Philly and then NYC for a while and then he moved west and ended up in San Francisco where he died in 1989 at 47. He was a known face at the Frisco VA hospital before he passed. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. Semper Fi.
