The Marine Corps Veterans Birthday Ball Celebration is an initiative to engage all service veterans (especially Marines) to come together to celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday on November 10th. This Celebrations are two fold - to celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday and to raise money for a veteran charity with proceeds to veterans helping veterans. As a Marine, my best memories of camaraderie are at the annual Marine Corps Balls that our unit had where every Marine and their spouse dress up for a great evening. My vision was to continue that tradition as veterans. In San Diego, every Marine veteran are invited to celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday as we live our lifelong motto - Once a Marine, Always a Marine.
